The Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) has not received your Personal Financial Affairs Statement (F-1 report) disclosing financial activities for calendar year 2024.

RCW 42.17A.700 requires every elected or appointed official to file an F-1 report, which was to have been filed no later than April 15, 2025.

Under the Brief Enforcement Hearing rules, the Presiding Officer has the authority to assess a civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143, a penalty schedule adopted by the Commission (see enclosed copy).
