Mr. Lefkowith received a notice of delinquency on January 30, 2015, requesting the he file his 2013 Tier 2.1 annual personal financial disclosure statement. An answer was filed on Mr. Lefkowith behalf stating that he no longer serves on the Board and, the Board does not expend over $10,000 in funds per calendar year.

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. However, if the holding of the office terminates in January, then she will not be required to file a financial statement the year following termination as long as she files a financial statement during the year in which the holding of the office terminates that includes the period she held the office that year.
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.
