Section 11-8-2.1-5-509 - When to File(a) Employees and members of public bodies performing functions or duties under the act shall file within 120 days of the effective date of these regulations; and annually on February 1 of each year, or at such other date as may be agreed to by the director, provided that such alternative date will allow sufficient time to obtain information needed by the director for his or her annual report to Congress.(b) New employees and new members of public bodies representing multiple interests hired, appointed or transferred to perform functions or duties under the act will be required to file at the time of entrance to duty.(c) New employees and new members of public bodies representing multiple interests are not required to file an annual statement on the subsequent annual filing date if this date occurs within two months after their initial statement was filed. For example, an employee entering duty on December 1, 1988, would file a statement on that date. Because December 1 is within two months of February 1, the employee would not be required to file his or her next statement until February 1, 1990.11 Miss. Code. R. § 8-2.1-5-509
