DISCIPLINARY BOARD OF THE SUPREME COURT Collection Fee and Late Payment Penalty for 1998-1999 Registration Year [28 Pa.B. 1940] Notice is hereby given of the establishment by The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania for the 1998-1999 registration year of the collection fee for checks in payment of the annual registration fee for attorneys that are dishonored and the late payment penalty for registrations not received on time.
Pennsylvania Rule of Disciplinary Enforcement 219(d)(2) provides that, where a check in payment of the annual registration fee for attorneys has been returned to the Board unpaid, a collection fee established annually by the Board must be paid before the annual registration fee shall be deemed to have been paid. The Board has established the collection fee for the 1998-1999 registration year as $50 per returned item.
Pa.R.D.E. 219(h)(2) provides that a late payment penalty established annually by the Board must be paid by an attorney who fails to timely file an annual registration statement before the attorney shall be considered on active status for the new registration year. The Board has established the late payment penalty for the 1998-1999 registration year as $50.
