A. When the Board of Elections assesses a Filer with a fine for failure to file reports under R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 17-25-11(g)(2) or 17-25.2-5(d)(2), and the Filer is subsequently notified by certified mail of the imposition of the fine, then the Filer may appeal the fine on grounds that the fine was incorrectly imposed within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the non-compliance or in the event that the notice is not claimed, within forty-five (45) days of the date on which the notice was sent. A failure to file a timely appeal shall be deemed an admission. Requests for appeals must be in accordance with the Rules of Practice and Procedure in Adjudicatory Hearings before the Rhode Island Board of Elections (Part 20-00-2 of this Title).

B. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the Board of Elections from acting on its own motion to waive any fines or fees imposed.
