Is there any criminal liability of a treasurer or other responsible party of a PAC when required campaign disclosure reports are not filed?
It is unlawful for a responsible party of a PAC who has a prior civil penalty assessment record to intentionally fail to file a required quarterly campaign disclosure report. “Responsible party” includes the PAC treasurer or if no treasurer has been appointed, any person who organizes or directs the fundraising activities of a PAC. The responsible party is considered to have a prior assessment record if during the person’s service as a responsible party to one or more PACs the committee(s) violates the campaign finance law on two (2) or more occasions and those violations result in a civil penalty assessment against the PAC(s).
