Ethics Commission restores established Guardian System to ensure lawful filing, transparency, & public access.  The decision reflects the Commission’s responsibility to:

- Ensure immediate public access to campaign finance information during an active election season.

- Protect filers from compliance risks beyond their control, including no penalties for delayed filings.

- Act as a responsible steward of public funds appropriated by the Legislature.

- Avoid further delays where statutory obligations cannot be met.

The Commission will not impose any penalties on filers during this transition and will provide filing guidance and support directly.

- Generally, 3rd-Quarter Campaign Finance Reports will be due Jan. 30, while 4th-Quarter will still be due Jan. 31
