PDC closes calendar after finding violation in Theron Smith matter; hearings adjourned
Summary
The commission found Theron Smith failed to timely file a required C-1 report, imposed a $150 fine with $50 suspended, and adjourned the BAP calendar at the close of the session.
In the meeting’s final matter, staff reported case 173100 concerning Theron Smith, who had failed to timely file a C-1 report. The respondent was not present; staff recommended the standard base penalty for a filer with no prior violations. Chair Leach found the violation and assessed a $150 fine, suspending $50 conditioned on payment and no further violations for four years.
With that disposition entered, Chair Leach announced the BAP calendar was adjourned and the recording could be stopped. The commission noted it would issue written orders within 30 days laying out the payment and filing deadlines and any follow-up instructions for respondents.
Why it matters: The final ruling follows the same enforcement pattern applied across the calendar and signals administrative closure for the matters on the Jan. 24 agenda.
What comes next: Orders will be issued to each respondent, and staff will be the point of contact for compliance questions.
