  exceptions), nor shall such removal be effective  with  respect  to  any
  required  annual  financial  disclosure  statement  for  the immediately
  preceding calendar year (the filing of which statement  is  due  on  May
  fifteenth  (with  certain exceptions) of the calendar year in which such
  local law, ordinance or resolution is adopted), nor shall  such  removal
  be  effective  with respect to any other preceding year but such removal
  shall apply first to the statement which would  have  been  due  on  May
  fifteenth  (with  certain exceptions) of the second year next succeeding
  the year in which such local law, ordinance or  resolution  is  adopted,
  and  such  removal  shall  apply  thereafter  to  subsequent  statements
  otherwise due pursuant to this section.

        The  requirements  of  law  relating to the reporting of financial

    6. A reporting individual who knowingly and wilfully fails to file  an
  annual  statement  of financial disclosure or who knowingly and wilfully
  with intent to deceive makes a  false  statement  or  gives  information
  which  such  individual knows to be false on such statement of financial
  disclosure filed pursuant to this section  shall  be  assessed  a  civil
  penalty in an amount not to exceed ten thousand dollars. Assessment of a
  civil  penalty  hereunder shall be made by the appropriate body, as such
  term is defined in section eight hundred ten  of  this  article.  For  a
  violation  of this subdivision, other than for conduct which constitutes
  a violation of subdivision twelve of section seventy-three of the public
  officers law, the board of ethics of the political subdivision or  other
  municipality  may,  in lieu of a civil penalty, refer a violation to the
  appropriate prosecutor and upon such conviction,  but  only  after  such
  referral, such violation shall be punishable as a class A misdemeanor. A
  civil penalty for false filing may not be imposed hereunder in the event
  a category of "value" or "amount" reported hereunder is incorrect unless
  such  reported  information  is falsely understated. Notwithstanding any
  other provision of law to the  contrary,  no  other  penalty,  civil  or
  criminal may be imposed for a failure to file, or for a false filing, of
  such   statement,  except  that  the  appointing  authority  may  impose
  disciplinary action as otherwise provided by law. Each appropriate body,
  as such term is defined in section eight hundred ten  of  this  article,
  shall  adopt rules governing the conduct of adjudicatory proceedings and
  appeals relating  to  the  assessment  of  the  civil  penalties  herein
  authorized.   Such  rules  shall  provide  for  due  process  procedural
  mechanisms substantially similar to those set forth in article three  of
  the  state  administrative procedure act but such mechanisms need not be
  identical in terms or scope. Assessment of  a  civil  penalty  shall  be
  final  unless  modified,  suspended  or  vacated  within  thirty days of
  imposition and upon becoming final shall be subject  to  review  at  the
  instance  of the affected reporting individual in a proceeding commenced
  against the appropriate body, pursuant to article seventy-eight  of  the
  civil practice law and rules.
