any of those officials and a real party in interest, an employer, or an executive
agency lobbyist with respect to an expenditure or financial transaction alleged in a
statement to be filed under KRS 11A.216 or 11A.221, the official, employee, real
party in interest, employer, or executive agency lobbyist may file a complaint with
the commission. The commission shall investigate the complaint. (2) The complaint shall be filed at least three (3) days prior to the time the statement is required to be filed with the commission. The time for filing a disputed expenditure
or financial transaction in any statement of expenditures or the details of a financial
transaction shall be extended pending the final decision of the commission. This
extension does not extend the time for filing the nondisputed portions of either type
of statement. The commission shall notify the parties of its final decision by
certified mail. If the commission decides the disputed expenditure or financial
transaction should be reported, the employer, a real party in interest, or the
executive agency lobbyist shall include the matter in an amended statement and file
the amended statement not later than ten (10) days after receiving notice of the
decision of the commission by certified mail. (3) An employer, executive agency lobbyist, or real party in interest who files a false statement of expenditures or details of a financial transaction is liable in a civil
action to any official or employee who sustains damage as a result of the filing or
publication of the statement. Effective: July 15, 1996
