"TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A charity founded three years ago to help pay legal costs for the parents of Terri Schiavo in a prominent right-to-die case has been fined $1,000 for failing to register with the state to solicit donations.
An administrative complaint filed Monday by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services gave the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation the option of paying the fine and registering properly with the state, or paying the fine and shutting down. It could also request an administrative hearing.

The foundation's purpose is to help Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, block her husband's attempts to remove the feeding tube that has kept her alive since she suffered severe brain damage when her heart briefly stopped 15 years ago.

Barbara Weller, an attorney for the Schindlers, said Tuesday the proper paperwork will be filed soon. She said the process was delayed partly because the Schindlers were exploring whether they could seek nonprofit status."

"We just want to bring the organization into compliance," McElroy said. "Like everybody else, they have to file the paperwork so the public can get an accounting of how this money is spent."
