Description

On February 11, 2020, the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) received a complaint alleging that the Tax Amazon 2020 may have violated RCW 42.17A.205 for failure to timely file a Committee Registration (C-1pc) and RCW 42.17A.235 for failure to file timely C-3 and C-4 reports.    

Staff reviewed the applicable statute(s), rule(s), and the reporting requirements, including the response submitted by the Committee.   

Staff found that the Committee failed to timely register and report contributions and expenditures report in a timely manner, as required by law.   

Based on these findings, the staff formally warned the Committee for failure to register and file statutory contributions and expenditure reports timely.     

Based on the above findings, PDC staff dismissed this matter in accordance with RCW 42.17A.755(1)
