RE:
Request to waive the $250 late fee assessed against Mary LeFebvre for filing her 2026 lobbying registration 8 days late.
Facts:
Mary LeFebvre holds the title of Senior Director Government Relations at the College Board. She confirmed that she had no lobbying activity at the Louisiana Executive, Legislative, or Local level in January 2026. She stated that her original Louisiana Executive and Legislative registration contained a typo and should've listed 2/1/2026 as her start date.


Lobbying Staff Notes: Since Miss LeFebvre entered 1/1/2026 as his first action date, payment is due within (5) days. A lobbyist can pay in advance for a registration and enter a future first action date, but not a retroactive one without a possible fine being assessed.
