Waiver request submitted by Diane Giuffria Milano, State Board of Pharmacy, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2015 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 50 days late. |
|
Ms. Milano stated that as a new member of a state board she was inexperienced and unclear of the filing requirements. She stated that she is learning the nuances of holding the position. She explained that she took the notice seriously; however, it was an oversight in not responding.
Ms. Milano provides documentation to show how she responded to a notice issue by our agency. However, those documents related to Ms. Milano's initial filing- not the amendment. The late fee is associated with the amendment.
