Morrison Chief Counsel State Ethics Commission • 308 Finance Building • Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Advice #80 -601 On August 8, 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. Act 170 does not prohibit an attorney from serving as solicitor to various governmental bodies. The appointment of a solicitor is not covered by Section 3(c) of the Act except where the solicitor is given a contract other than the one for his solicitor duties. Therefore, you may serve as solicitor to any number of municipal bodies. Your appointment as solicitor does not require that the governmental bodies meet the requirements of Section 3(c) of the Act unless you are given contracts for other purposes. A copy of our final regulations will be sent to you in approximately 10 days.
