Abstract: Provides relative to filing duplicative financial disclosure statements after qualifying for
office.
Present law (R.S. 42:1124, 1124.2, and 1124.3) requires certain elected officials, certain public
servants, and members of certain boards and commissions to file either a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3
financial disclosure statement with the Bd. of Ethics. The required filing tier is determined by the
person's office or position. Proposed law retains present law.
Present law (R.S. 18:1495.7) provides that any person who becomes a candidate for an office
requiring the filing of a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 financial disclosure statement shall file the required
financial disclosure statement within three business days after the close of qualifying for that office.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law provides that a candidate satisfies the filing requirement if he had previously filed the
financial disclosure statement for the office for which he is a candidate.
Proposed law instead provides that if the person holds an office or position that requires filing of the
same disclosure required of him as a candidate, such filing as an officeholder satisfies his filing
requirement as a candidate.
