What are the current ramifications for filing a Form LM-10 late? Are there any monetary penalties?
A71. The LMRDA does not authorize civil monetary penalties for late filing of any required report. However, it does authorize the Department of Labor to bring a civil action in order to compel the filing of any required report and provides for criminal penalties for willfully failing to file a required report or submitting a false report. See FAQ, Questions 66, 69, and 70 concerning the Department’s enforcement policy for delinquent Forms LM-10 for fiscal years prior to 2005.
