CAMPAIGN FINANCE: Provides relative to the assessment of penalties for failure to timely file required reports

This bill updates Louisiana laws regarding fines for political candidates and committee leaders who fail to file campaign finance reports on time. It sets specific daily penalty amounts of $60 for district office candidates and $40 for others, with maximum caps of $2,000 and $1,500 respectively. The legislation also clarifies that when calculating these penalty periods, weekends and legal holidays should not be counted. These changes directly affect candidates and their treasurers or chairmen to ensure timely and accurate reporting of campaign funds.
