Disposition:
THE ALJ FOUND THAT THE EVIDENCE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO SHOW THAT SUPPORT JEFFCO KIDS HAD A MAJOR PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING THE RECALL OF THREE JEFFERSON COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AT THE 11/3/2015 ELECTION; THEREFORE THE CLAIM THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE COMMITTEE REQUIRED TO REGISTER AND REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE WAS NOT PROVEN. THE ALJ FOUND THAT THE EVIDENCE WAS SUFFICIENT TO PROVE THAT JEFFCO UNITED HAD A MAJOR PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING THE RECALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS; AND THEREFORE IT WAS REQUIRED TO REGISTER AND REPORT AS AN ISSUE COMMITTEE. JEFFCO UNITED WAS ORDERED TO PAY THE SECRETARY OF STATE $1,000 WITHIN 30 DAYS AND REGISTER AS AN ISSUE COMMITTEE AND FILE ALL REQUIRED REPORTS WITHIN 10 DAYS.
