Waiver request submitted by Meredith A. Warner, former member of the Physical Therapy Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2018 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 50 days late. |
|
Meredith A. Warner served six years on the LA PT Board, and the first year, she didn't know a report was needed. She believed the fine had been waived until she received the LFO. Usually, the board director helps everyone submit their forms on time, but she was on maternity leave at that time. Although it was not her fault, Ms. Warner realized she relied on her organizational skills more than she should have. Ms. Warner apologizes for this oversight and requests a waiver of the assessed late fee.
