§ 8515. Failure to File Statement by Deadline. (a) If any person who is required to file a statement of financial interests by May 1 of any year fails to file such a statement, the Public Auditor shall, by May 15, notify such person by certified mail of his failure to file by the specified date. Such person shall file his or her statement on or before May 31. Failure to file by May 31 shall constitute a violation of this section, except as provided in subsection (c) of this section. (b) Any person who first becomes subject to the requirement to file a statement of financial interests within 30 days prior to May 1 of any year shall be notified at that time by the appointing or employing authority of the obligation to file, and shall file his or her statement at any time on or before May 31 without penalty. The appointing or employing authority shall notify the Public Auditor of the identity of such persons. If such person fails to file such statement by May 31, the Public Auditor shall, within seven days after May 31, notify such person by certified mail of his or her failure to file by the specified date. Such persons shall file the statement of financial interests on or before June 15 with the Public Auditor. Failure to file by June 15 shall constitute a violation of this section, except as provided in subsection (c) of this section. (c) Any person who is required to file a statement of financial interests may effect one 30-day extension of time for filing the statement by filing with the Public Auditor, not less than 10 days before the date on which the statement is due, a declaration of his or her intention to defer the filing of the statement. Failure to file by that date shall constitute a violation of this chapter. A declaration for extension must be accompanied by a $50 fee payable to the Commonwealth government.
