Nicole Sims accepts penalty terms after saying a filing error left C1 incomplete
Summary
Nicole Sims told the PDC she attempted to file her C1 but made an error by entering her name instead of using the 'I certify' field; the commission found a violation and set a $250 penalty with $150 suspended on conditions including refiling within 30 days.
Jordan Campbell said the C1 associated with PDC case 173228 had not been filed before the hearing and staff recommended a standard penalty for a filer with no priors. Nicole Sims told the commission she had filled out the form and, when asked, typed her name in the certification line instead of using the 'I certify' control; she said PDC staff told her the filing had gone through but that later notice indicated otherwise.
Chair Leach found the violation proven and imposed a $250 penalty, suspending $150 provided Sims files the C1 within 30 days, pays the unsuspended portion within 30 days of the order, and has no further violations for four years. Chair Leach also instructed staff to assist respondents with filing and confirmed electronic payment is available.
