Modifies provisions relating to mail sent by state agencies
HB 85, titled "Modifies provisions relating to mail sent by state agencies," actually focuses on late filing fees for campaign disclosures and financial statements, not mail procedures. The bill establishes:
- Late fees of $10/day (increasing to $100/day after 30 days) for unfiled campaign reports or financial interest statements, capped at $6,000 per document.
- Required notices via certified mail to filers, with appeals allowed within 10 days for "good cause."
- Collection methods including commission enforcement and deposits to the general revenue fund.
The bill was prefied on December 2, 2024, but withdrawn the same day (December 6), so it never advanced. The title misrepresents the content, as the bill addresses filing penalties - not mail handling.
