Case

#164569

Respondent

Evergreen Recycling Refund Coalition

Complainant

Conner Edwards

Description

The complaint alleged violations of RCW 42.17A.640 for failure to accurately report expenditures of a grassroots lobbying campaign. 

On February 10, 2024, Evergreen Recycling Refund Coalition filed an amended L-6 report for January 2024 and an amended final L-6 report. Both amended L-6 reports use the updated template and disclose the required details regarding the campaign’s advertising expenditures. 

Based on our findings, staff has determined that, in this instance, failure to accurately disclose expenditures of a grassroots lobbying campaign does not amount to a finding of a violation that calls for further investigation.  

PDC staff is reminding Evergreen Recycling Refund Coalition about the importance of accurately disclosing expenditure activities of grassroots lobbying campaigns and timely filing all future L-6 reports, in accordance with RCW 42.17A.640 and WAC 390-20-125.
