HB556

Louisiana HB556 prohibits the Board of Ethics from providing conditional waivers of late fees for campaign finance disclosure reports.

Louisiana HB556 amends existing law to prohibit the Board of Ethics from providing conditional waivers of late fees assessed for failure to file or timely file campaign finance disclosure reports. The bill requires the Board of Ethics, acting as the Supervisory Committee on Campaign Finance Disclosure, to notify candidates, committee treasurers, or chairmen of any failure to file or disclose information accurately. It provides a seven-day period to correct the filing before fees may accrue.
