On June 22, 2020, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint from Norm Smith alleging that Mr. Beach failed to maintain contributor address records in violation of RCW 42.17A.240 and WAC 390-16-115.
PDC staff reviewed the allegation listed in the complaint in the complaint to determine whether a formal investigation or enforcement action is warranted. Staff reviewed all attachments submitted with the complaint, the statute, rule, and the July 6, 2020, and July 22, 2020 responses from Mr. Beach and attorney Martin Rowland on behalf of Mr. Beach, respectively.
Staff found no evidence to support a finding of a violation warranting further investigation or enforcement action and dismissed the matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1).
Disposition: Case Closed with No Evidence of Violations (Resolved 08/04/2020)
