RE:
Staff memo regarding a response received from Pinckney A. Wood, a member of the Louisiana Animal Welfare Commission, regarding his failure to file his 2013 Tier 2.1 Annual Personal Financial Disclosure Statement.
Facts:
Pinckney A. Wood is a member of the Louisiana Animal Welfare Commission, which required him to file a Tier 2.1 Personal Financial Disclosure Statement annually. The Louisiana Animal Welfare Commission was created by La. R.S. 3:2364.

Mr. Wood received a notice of delinquency requesting he file his 2013 Tier 2.1 Personal Financial Disclosure Statement. Mr. Wood submitted an answer stating that the commission does not receive state funds, and he is therefore not required to file.

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 provides that upon discovery of the failure to file, failure to timely file, omission of information or inaccurate information, the Board shall notify the filer by sending him a notice of delinquency by certified mail. The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than seven (7) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.

La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 requires financial disclosure for each member and designee of a board or commission which has the authority to expend, disburse or invest $10,000 or more of funds in a fiscal year on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.

Recommendations:
Advise Mr. Wood that he has 7 business days to file the required report.
Assigned Attorney: Jennifer Land
