RE:
Waiver request submitted by Galen Schum regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 R.S. 42:1114 disclosure affidavit 706 days late and a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 R.S. 42:1114 disclosure affidavit 341 days late.
Facts:
Galen Schum was required to file R.S. 42:1114 disclosure affidavits as a result of his receipt of a thing of economic value from Magellan at a time when Magellan had a contractual, financial or other business relationship with DHH while Mr. Schum's sister-in-law served as the Secretary of DHH.

Mr. Schum is no longer employed with Magellan and no longer required to file these type of reports.


There are no waiver guidelines for these type of disclosures.
