The Administrative Fine Program, authorized by Congress in 1999
in response to a legislative recommendation made by the FEC (see News Release May 31,
2000), has a twofold purpose: to free critical Commission resources for more important and
complex enforcement efforts, and to reduce the number of financial reports filed late or
not at all. The Administrative Fines Program encompasses a range of civil money penalties
set high enough to discourage committees from considering them an acceptable ‘cost of
doing business’, but not so high as to be exorbitant.
Civil money penalties will be determined by the number of days late, the amount of
financial activity involved, and any prior penalties for reporting violations. Election
sensitive reports (reports and notices filed prior to an election) will receive higher
penalties.
