RE:
Waiver request submitted by Brian J. Bordelon, State Licensing Board of Contractors, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 89 days late.
Facts:
Brian Bordelon submitted a waiver request stating he did not realize his per diem was reportable income. In September 2021, when he received the Notice of Delinquency to Amend, he misplaced the letter due to a home remodeling project. He found the notice in January 2022 and immediately filed the amended report. He said this was the first time he ever filed late and all of his disclosures since have been timely filed. Mr. Bordelon would appreciate the Ethics Board's consideration of this matter.
