Waiver request submitted by Major Coleman with the Louisiana Board of Commerce and Industry, regarding two $500.00 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2015 and 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 10 days late. |
|
Mr. Coleman stated that he unintentionally did not disclose his membership on the Louisiana Board of Commerce and Industry (membership which requires him to file a Tier 2.1 PFD). Mr. Coleman stated that he received his NODs via personal service. He explained that the state trooper went to the police jury office to serve him; however, he was not there. The state trooper then went to Mr. Coleman's residence and left the NODs with Mr. Coleman's mother. Mr. Coleman stated that his mother is 86 years old and she forgot to inform Mr. Coleman about the NODs.
Mr. Coleman eventually called the Ethics Administration to ask about the NODs. Once he was aware of the requirements, he filled the two amendments.
