Nicole Rogers is requesting a waiver for the late filing of her 2019 & 2020 Annual PFDs stating that her hair restoration practice was closed from mid-March 2020 to mid-May 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. She has served on the Louisiana Electrolysis Examiners Board for over 10 years and each year has diligently submitted her PFD on time. She is not clear how this late filing happened. Ms. Rogers stated perhaps the mail was disrupted since she did not receive the NOD -FF. She and her boyfriend moved to a new house in 2018 and she didn't notify the BOE of the move. (NOD -FF was mailed to the new home address she mentioned). Ms. Rogers stated she is not paid for her time and enjoys providing her services to the board. She asks the Ethics Board to please waive her late fee assessment.
