ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
Advice # 80 -599
On August 1, 1979 you asked for an opinion or advice
of the State Ethics Commission. This request could not be
answered until regulations were developed. The Commission
approved their publication on April 7, 1980 and you are
advised as follows:
1. All elected officials such as township supervisors
are required to file a Financial Interest Statement
by May 1 of each year for the preceding calendar
year. Except in the years they are candidates, the
Financial Interest Statement form shall be filed
only with their governmental body.
2. Secretary- treasurers of townships are not covered
by the financial disclosure requirements of Act
170 and are not required to file a Financial
Interest Statement.
3. Zoning officers are covered by Act 170 and are
required to file Financial Interest Statements.
Where one person holds more than one office, he or she
must comply with the highest requirement of any of those
offices. For example, a person who must file as a supervisor
is not excluded from filing because they hold other postions
which are not covered by the Ethics Act.
