Modifies provisions relating to mail sent by state agencies
HB 2180 imposes daily late filing fees for unfiled campaign finance reports and financial interest statements. Candidates, committee treasurers, and individuals required to file financial statements face $10/day initially (increasing to $100/day after 30 days of non-compliance), with caps of $3,000 for campaign reports and $6,000 for financial statements. The executive director must send written notices via certified mail to delinquent filers, allowing a 10-day appeal window for "good cause" to waive fees. All collected fees are deposited into the state general revenue fund, in addition to any existing penalties.

MINOR
The bill was perfected by removing draft committee markings and explanatory notes, while retaining the core policy text. The substantive content remains focused on allowing state directors to use first-class mail or email instead of certified mail for certain documents, though the final version includes minor formatting adjustments to the section numbering and definitions.
TECHNICAL
Removed all draft indicators, committee headers, and explanatory notes that were present in the Senate Committee Substitute version.
Adjusted section numbering and formatting to align with the final perfected version, such as renumbering the definitions within Section 32.058.
Simplified the header information by removing the 'Introduced by Representative Griffith' line and updating the clerk's name to reflect the final status.
