6 "amount" reported hereunder is incorrect unless such reported informa-
7 tion is falsely understated. Notwithstanding any other provision of law
8 to the contrary, no other penalty, civil or criminal may be imposed for
9 a failure to file, or for a false filing, of such statement, or a
10 violation of section seventy-three of the public officers law, except
11 that the appointing authority may impose disciplinary action as other-
12 wise provided by law. The legislative ethics commission shall be deemed
13 to be an agency within the meaning of article three of the state admin-
