Description

On February 14, 2020, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) notified Jeff Bissonnette of an alleged violation of RCW 42.17A.615 for failure to timely file one or more monthly Lobbying Expense reports (L-2 reports) for 2019.

Jeff Bissonnette completed a Statement of Understanding (SOU) and paid a $100 civil penalty in accordance with WAC 390-37-143 (Brief Enforcement Penalty Schedule), acknowledging violations of RCW 42.17A.615 for failure to timely file the L-2 report covering January 2019. The L-2 report was received on February 28, 2020, 365 days beyond the statutory deadline. The $100 penalty assessed resolves the allegations.

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)(a). The PDC will not conduct a more formal investigation into these allegations or take further enforcement action in this matter.
