Texas SB3014 regulates technical and clerical errors in filings with the Texas Ethics Commission and modifies penalty assessment procedures.

Texas SB3014 amends the Texas Government Code to address technical and clerical errors in registrations and reports filed with the Texas Ethics Commission. The bill allows registrants to correct obvious typographical errors without penalty by submitting a corrected or updated document. It mandates the commission to adopt rules outlining the types of errors and the process for correction. The bill also modifies the commission's authority to impose civil penalties, limiting them to knowing violations and setting a maximum penalty of $5,000 or triple the amount at issue, whichever is greater.
