RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,050 late fee assessed against Colin Miller for his failure to timely file a Lobbyist Supplemental Report.
Facts:
Mr. Miller states that the final date of lobbying on his application was an inadvertent error on his part. After paying the late fee for failing to submit his August 2015 Legislative lobbyist expenditure report, he proceeded to cancel his lobbying registration for 2015 via the online system. He inaccurately stated the end of his representation of Forum for Equality as late August, 2015, rather than the effective date of September 30, 2015. Mr. Miller sincerely apologizes for the inaccuracy of the reporting and that he registered out of caution.

REPORT: 2015 Supplemental Registration
REPORT DUE: September 9, 2015
REPORT FILED: September 30, 2015
DAYS LATE: 21

Law:
La. R.S. 24:53H Whenever any information contained in his registration changes, or the lobbyist begins representing an additional person, a supplemental electronic registration shall be filed with the board as soon as possible after such change occurs and in any event not later than five days after such change, using forms provided by the board.

R.S. 24:58D(1) Any person required to register and who fails to timely register and any person who fails to timely file any report required by this Part shall be assessed, pursuant to R.S. 42:1157, a late fee of fifty dollars per day.
