Subject: STOCK Act compliance: late reporting on the public record
Dear Representative Donna Shalala,
I am writing as a member of the public about your STOCK Act filing record. Public filings show 552 transactions disclosed more than 45 days after the transaction date — the deadline set by 5 U.S.C. § 13105(l), the current codification of the 2012 STOCK Act.
On the public record: 174,627 cumulative days past the 45-day deadline; longest single delay 477 days; disclosed value on those late filings up to $8.8 million (as reported in ranges on your own PTRs). At the $200-per-late-report fee codified in the STOCK Act, the 2 late reports on the public record would total $400 in statutory fees.
As a constituent, I am asking for three specific actions:
1. File every future Periodic Transaction Report within the 45-day window required by 5 U.S.C. § 13105(l), without exception.
2. Support legislation that strengthens STOCK Act enforcement — higher statutory fees for late reports, shorter reporting windows, or an independent reporting mechanism.
3. Publicly acknowledge the compliance record above; where third-party advisers or administrative delay are responsible, say so on the record.
Prepared from CapTracker's public-record summary of your filings; the underlying receipts are linked from the original card.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
