ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
On March 3, 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. Police officers are not considered public employees
under Act 170 and are not required to file a
Financial Interest Statement.
2. Persons serving as chiefs of police are considered
public employees and are required to file a
Financial Interest Statement with their local
governing body by May 1 of each year.
Copies of our final regulations will be sent to you in
approximately 10 days.
