Commission staff reports higher compliance and successful transition to e‑filing for 2025 disclosure season
Summary
Staff reported that the 2025 financial‑disclosure e‑filing rollout is operating in maintenance mode, call‑center support handled thousands of contacts in June, and overall compliance rates have increased compared with the same point last year.
Commission staff reported operational metrics and early outcomes from the first large‑scale use of the new e‑filing system for financial disclosure filings.
Lede/nut graf Staff said the e‑filing platform and call center handled approximately 3,500 inbound call‑center calls during the filing season and that overall compliance rates as of the meeting were approximately 88.7% for Form 1 filers and 86.8% for Form 6 filers — higher than the same point last year. Staff said the system is now transitioning from project development to regular operation and maintenance.
Details Executive staff said notices went out May 20 and the system’s help line experienced a high volume on the June 30 filing deadline. The call center handled 402 calls on the peak day and produced a 92% service level; average call time was about nine minutes.
Staff reminded filers that the statutory grace period extends until Sept. 2 (11:59 p.m.) and that $25‑per‑day fines for late filings begin after that date. Staff also said postcard reminders would be sent and that materials and user assistance would continue. The executive director thanked vendor and internal teams for implementing the e‑filing project and said staff will report final compliance numbers after the grace period closes.
Context and next steps Staff said the transition is complete and that the team will continue iterative improvements to the system. The commission asked a few operational questions and praised the outreach and help‑desk support.
