conclusion that an offonse has been committed Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles v Favino, 667 So.2d 305, 309 (Fla l"DCA 1995).

13 The facts set forth above show that Respondent was the chairman and treasurer for F101ida's Families First, a political committee registered with the Division. The Committee's 2013 MIO Repo1t was due by November 12, 2013, but Respondent failed to file timely the report. The Division sent four notifications to Respondent's address listed on the Committee's DS-DE 6 fo1m informing Respondent that the Committee's 2013 MIO Repo1t had not been 1eceived The final notification was confitmed delivered on Januaiy 8, 2014 .. As of May 23, 2014, Respondent has not filed Flo1ida's Families First's 2013 MIO Repmt

14 The facts set forth above also show that the Committee's 2013 Ml I Repo1t was due by December 10, 2013, but Respondent failed to file timely the repo1t The Division sent three notifications to Respondent's address listed on the Committee's DS-DE 6 form info1ming Respondent that the Committee's 2013 Ml I Repo1t had not been received .. The final notification was confitmed delivered on January 8, 2014 As of May 23, 2014, Respondent has not filed Florida's Families First's 2013 Ml I Report.
