Johnson, who launched his campaign for the White House in New Hampshire last month, is likely raising money under Federal Election Commission rules, but would still be responsible for reporting any money his Utah-registered 501(c)(4) collected from January 1 to March 31 this year.
Utah Consumer Protection Division’s Shauna DeWolf notified Johnson’s Stafford, Texas-based attorney Maureen Otis the PAC has been assessed a $25 late filing fee, and must file the financial report by the end of May or face another $25 fee for every month they are late.

Johnson’s PAC previously faced scrutiny for not filing quarterly statements as required by the law.
