ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
On March 10, 1980 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. Township secretary- treasurers are not considered
public employees under Act 170 and are not
required to file Financial Interest Statements.
2. The word official is normally used as it is defined
in the various township and borough codes to include
persons who are appointed to an office. As I noted
above, we believe secretaries and secretary- treasurers,
although appointed in some cases, are not covered by
Act 170 and are not required to file Financial Interest
Statements.
Copies of our final regulations will be sent to you in
approximately 10 days.
SiI)eerely,
