Request that the board waive the $3,000 and $2,000 campaign finance late fees assessed against Health Agents For America-PAC, a political action committee and its chairperson, B. Ronnell Nolan in the October 24, 2015 election, whose 180-P report was filed 16 days late and 90-P report was filed 13 days late. |

In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fees assessed for the late filing of the reports, B. Ronnell Nolan, President/CEO of HAFA-PAC states that her father was dying during the time period the reports were due and she didn't realize that the reports were due. She states her father was very ill with congestive heart failure and renal failure and other conditions. She took care of him during this time until his death in December, 2015.
The PAC is now looking to hire someone that is an expert in this area to handle this for the organization.
