ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
Advice #80 -616
On November 13, 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 the final publication on April 7, 1980 and you are
advised as follows:
All employees file their Financial Interest Statements
only with their governmental body.
DRM /rdp
1. Police officers are generally not considered
public employees under Act 170 and do not have
to file a Financial Interest Statement.
2. Chiefs of police are generally considered
public employees and must file a Statement of
Financial Interests.
