Waiver request submitted by Matthew Daniel Prine, Coroner / Richland Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 Tier 2 annual pfd 25 days late. |

Matthew Prine states he received a notice regarding his 2021 PFD, but he regrets filing it late. He resides in rural Richland Parish, where the coroner's office lacks sufficient funds to employ staff full-time, leaving the phone unanswered. They only check the mail every 3-4 weeks. Mr. Prine was not aware that he needed to file this report annually and thought it was only required once per term. He was appointed as the coroner after the unexpected passing of the previous coroner and is still learning his duties. Mr. Prine kindly requests that the $2,500 late fee be waived, and he promises to complete all necessary paperwork on time in the future.
