RE:
Request that the Board waive $160 and $200 campaign finance late fees assessed against Calvin G. Battley, Sr., a candidate for Pointe Coupee Parish Council Member, District C in the November 6, 2018 elections, whose EDE-P and 10-G campaign finance disclosure reports were filed 4 and 5 days late, respectively.
Facts:
Calvin G. Battley, Sr. states the only reason that he could think of why the reports were late is that he sent the reports on time, but he was required to make corrections past the due date.

Law:

18:1495.4D(1) If the final report of a candidate for an election, as required by Paragraph (5), (6), or (7)of Subsection B of this Section, shows a deficit or a surplus, the candidate and his treasurer, if any, shall file supplemental reports with the supervisory committee of all information required in R.S. 18:1495.5. Such reports shall be filed annually no later than February fifteenth and shall be complete through the preceding December thirty-first. Such a supplemental report shall be filed each year until a report has been filed which shows no deficit and until any surplus campaign funds have been disposed of in accordance with R.S. 18:1505.2(I). The report on surplus funds shall disclose the disbursement of such funds in the same manner as expenditures are reported.

Recommendations:
Suspend all but $100 for both the EDE-P and 10-G reports. The late fee must be paid within 30 days or the suspended portion becomes due and owing.
