Description
This case alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.235 and .240 for failure to timely & accurately report contributions & expenditures for election years 2018-2023 and disclose required expenditure details on reports for election years 2018-2023.
PDC staff reviewed the allegations and evidence submitted; the applicable statutes, rules, and reporting requirements; the responses provided by Retired Public Employees Council of Washington (the “Respondent”); the applicable PDC reports filed by the Respondent; and other relevant information to determine whether the record supports a finding of one or more violations.
Based on the attached findings and pursuant to WAC 390-37-060(1)(d), Retired Public Employees Council of Washington received a formal written warning concerning their failure to timely and accurately file C-3 and C-4 reports disclosing their contributions and expenditures in years 2019-2023. The formal written warning included staff’s expectation that Retired Public Employees Council of Washington comply with the above requirements in the future. The Commission will consider the formal written warning in deciding on further Commission action if there are future violations of PDC laws or rules.
PDC staff also reminded Retired Public Employees Council of Washington about the importance of 1) disclosing sufficient details on C-4 reports regarding the vendor and purpose/description of expenditures; and 2) submitting amended reports within 21 days of the original reports, when possible, in the future in accordance with PDC laws and rules or guidance.
Based on this information, the PDC finds that no further action is warranted and has dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
