| Waiver request submitted by Benjamin Daniel Hodes, Workforce Investment Board #20, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 199 days late. |
|
Mr. Hodes states that he does not believe he is required to file disclosure statements because he only attended meeting as a designee for a member of the board. Mr. Hodes further states that he left the board in 2012. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 provides that any member of a board or his designee are required to file. Therefore, as a designee, Mr. Hodes was required to file.
According to the Board Director of the Local Workforce Investment Board #20, Mr. Hodes was appointed to the Board on June 14, 2011 and resigned on May 26, 2013. Mr. Hodes filed a 2011 Tier 2.1 pfd on May 17, 2012. Mr. Hodes also owes a 2013 Tier 2.1 pfd, which a notice of delinquency has been issued.
