Penalties for Late-filed Disclosures or Statements of Financial Interests

Summary

The measure changes Florida law so that a person who files a required financial‑interest disclosure late for the first time would not automatically be fined, provided they have not previously reached the maximum penalty or received a waiver. It adds rules for the Ethics Commission to set waiver criteria, notify filers, and allow appeals. The change aims to make penalties fairer while still enforcing disclosure deadlines.
