18:1505.4.A(1) Any candidate, the treasurer or chairman of a political committee, or any other person required to file any reports under this Chapter, who knowingly fails to file or who knowingly fails to timely file any such reports as are required by this Chapter may be assessed a civil penalty for each day until such report is filed. 18:1484.(2)(b). Each candidate for any other public office shall file reports of contributions in excess of two hundred dollars in the aggregate during the aggregating period.
Rule 1205C allows a late fee to be reduced to the amount of activity or 10 times the per day penalty, whichever is greater, if a report is filed more than 10 days late and the amount of activity on the report is less than the amount of the late fee to be assessed.

Suspend all but $500 based on future compliance. The late fee must be paid within 30 days or the suspended portion becomes due and owing.
