“Remediable violation” means any violation of this title that:

(2) Occurred:

(a) More than 30 days before an election, where the commission entered into an agreement to resolve the matter; or

(b) At any time where the violation did not constitute a material violation because it was inadvertent and minor or otherwise has been cured and, after consideration of all the circumstances, further proceedings would not serve the purposes of this title;

(3) Does not materially harm the public interest, beyond the harm to the policy of this title inherent in any violation; and

(4) Involved:

(i) Took corrective action within five business days after the commission first notified the person of noncompliance, or where the commission did not provide notice and filed a required report within 21 days after the report was due to be filed; and

(b) A candidate who:
