WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission is releasing 48 more
Administrative Fines cases with $ 73,500 in civil money penalties, bringing
to 701 the number of cases made public with $ 936,754 in fines collected. In
addition, there are numerous cases in various stages of the Administrative
Fines process. Closed Administrative Fines case files are available in the
FEC?s Press and Public Records offices.
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.
