RE:
PFD answer submitted by Chris Smith, a former member of the Sparta Groundwater Conservation District.
Facts:
Chris Smith received a notice of delinquency requesting he file his 2015 Tier 2.1 pfd. He responded stating that he is not required to file because he has not served since 2012. According to documents on the Commission's website, Mr. Smith served until the end of 2016.
Law:
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.
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 of the Code 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.
Recommendations:
Advise Chris Smith he is required to file a 2015 Tier 2.1 and failure to file may result in the assessment of late fees.
