SEIU HealthCare 1199 NW PAC: Alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 & .240 for failure to timely file expenditures on reports (EY25 JUN25)

In this instance, the failure to timely file a C-4 report to disclose in-kind contributions for legal services does not amount to a violation that warrants further investigation.

After consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of the Fair Campaign Practices Act. Under WAC 390-37-070, the executive director, at any time prior to consideration by the Commission, may dismiss a complaint which on its face, or as shown by investigation, provides reason to believe that a violation has occurred, but also shows that the respondent is in substantial compliance with the relevant statutes or rules, or shows that formal enforcement action is not warranted. The executive director must report at each regular Commission meeting all complaints dismissed.

Based on this information, the PDC has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
