Bill Summary
An act relating to penalties for late-filed disclosures or statements of financial interests; amending ss. 112.3144 and 112.3145, F.S.; prohibiting the assessment of a fine for a reporting person’s first late filing of a disclosure or statement of financial interests if certain conditions are met; providing applicability; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida Statutes sections 112.3144 and 112.3145 to create a new provision that prohibits the assessment of a fine for a reporting person's first late filing of a disclosure or statement of financial interests, provided that the disclosure is filed before the maximum automatic fine is reached for that year and the person has not previously received a waiver for a late filing. This protection applies to fines that begin to accrue after September 1, 2026, and aims to offer a grace period for individuals who are required to file these financial disclosures, which are important for transparency in government, but have historically faced penalties for a single instance of late filing under certain conditions.
