Forms for Elected and Appointed Officials
These forms will help candidates meet their filling and reporting requirements.
Reporting Modifications
The Public Disclosure Commission may suspend or modify the reporting requirements if it decides that the law works a "manifestly unreasonable hardship on the filer" and the "modification will not frustrate the purposes" of the disclosure law. If you believe your situation meets these two statutory tests and you can provide convincing arguments to that effect, you may request a reporting modification. Requests for modification typically come from people who are partners in or owners of a business who would face a competitive disadvantage by disclosing the names of their business customers who paid $10,000 or more during the reporting period.
Instructions for requesting a reporting modification:
- Complete the reporting modification application. [MS WORD],
[PDF]
-
Complete the Personal Financial Affairs Statement, except for the section covered by the reporting modification application.
-
Send the completed application and Personal Financial Affairs Statement to the Commission.
A hearing will be scheduled to consider your request. It's best if you attend the hearing, but your presence is not required. The Commission can arrange for you to participate in the hearing by telephone.
If the Commission grants your reporting modification, it only applies to one reporting period. Another application must be submitted the next time you file the Personal Financial Affairs Statement if you still need the modification.
