Amy Nicole Donarski stated she resigned from the Louisiana Development Disabilities Council in January 2020 due to ongoing health issues with her and her three children with disabilities. She submitted her 2019 annual disclosure in March 2020 when informed by the council. However, she was unaware she was required to submit a final disclosure covering 2020, her last year serving, until she received an email from Hannah Jenkins at the council on December 21, 2022. On December 15, 2021, she had an extensive surgery that required over three months of bed rest. Once able, she submitted the required form. Ms. Donarski stated due to her own ongoing health issues and the care of her disabled children, her income is very limited, and she is financially unable to make this payment.
