SCS/SB 594 - This act modifies notice and mailing requirements for ethics violations. Currently actual notice and mailing by certified or registered mail is required in certain circumstances. The act allows for notice and mailing of any type. Currently, Ethics Commission decisions are appealable to the Administrative Hearing Commission. The act directs appeals to the circuit court of Cole County. The act allows lobbyists, and committee treasurers to appeal the assessment of late fees for late filings. Currently, continuing committees that contribute more than $15,000 annually must file electronically with the Ethics Commission. The act includes political party and campaign committees in the requirement and lowers the threshold to $5,000. CHRIS HOGERTY
