ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
David R. 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.
