RE:
Request to waive the $650 late fee assessed against Maxwell Ciardullo for the late filing of the February 2021 Lobbying Expenditure Report.
Facts:
Mr. Ciardullo states that he works for the Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center, a small statewide non-profit, and February was his first month registered as a lobbyist. While registering, he states that he incorrectly typed in his email in his lobbying profile. Therefore, he did not receive the expenditure report reminder nor the failure to file emails sent by the lobbying staff. Mr. Ciardullo has updated his email address and states he has put a calendaring system in place.
