All attorneys shall maintain a current e-mail address and provide updated information upon request from the Commission.

Any attorney whose Annual Report Statement demonstrates compliance with Section 3.01 of this Rule, and whose Annual Report Statement demonstrates that all fees due the Commission for the preceding calendar year have been paid, shall be exempt from the requirement to sign and deliver to the Commission the Annual Report Statement described herein. Any attorney who fails to meet the March 31st deadline who has not previously been assessed the one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee for the applicable compliance year shall be assessed the one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee on April 1st. The one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee shall be due and payable on April 1st.6.03. The Annual Report Statement shall reflect any unpaid course reporting fees and any non-compliance fee assessed pursuant to Section 7.03 along with a schedule of additional penalties which will result from continued non-compliance.6.04.
