ETHICS/BOARD: Provides relative to penalties for failure to timely or accurately file required reports (OR -$408,000 GF RV See Note)

HB 694 amends Louisiana law to adjust penalties for late or inaccurate filings under ethics and campaign finance laws. It sets daily fines ranging from $20 to $150 per day (capped at $250-$1,500), depending on the filer type (e.g., candidates for major office, lobbyists, or campaign committees). The bill also adds additional penalties for reports filed more than 6 or 11 days late, with maximum fines of $5,000 for certain violations. These changes apply to filings required under the Code of Governmental Ethics, Campaign Finance Disclosure Act, and lobbying disclosure laws. The bill does not create new reporting requirements but modifies existing penalty structures for non-compliance.
