| Request to waive the $900 late fee assessed against Jody Montelaro for filing his 2019 lobbying registration 18 days late. |
|
Mr. Montelaro states he missed the lobbying registration renewal for 2019. On December 24, 2018, he lost his mother to an extended battle with Alzheimer's disease. Prior to her death, he states he was with his family for an extended period of time in Eunice, Louisiana planning funeral arrangements and dealing with family matters that continued beyond the December 28, 2018 funeral date. Prior to the death of his mother, he states that they welcomed their third son. He states that while this was a welcomed addition to their 14 month old and five year old in their home, the adjustment continued for the remainder of the holiday season. On January 30, 2019, he states that his job required him to travel to Washington, D. C. for Mardi Gras. While there, he states that his wife broke her leg. Once he returned and had her treated, it was February 6, 2019.
