Request that the Board waive the $500 late fee assessed against Jennifer Pappan for her failure to timely file a lobbyist expenditure report. |
|
Ms. Pappan states that she is not her employer's point of contact for lobbying activities. She claims that she only handles activities in Texas and was unable to file timely because her position requires her to travel extensively throughout Texas. Ms. Pappan had no expenditures during the period of being registered as a lobbyist.
