BOX 1179 HARRISBURG, PA 17108 TELEPHONE: (717) 783 -1610 April 28, 1980 ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL Advice #80 -618 On November 20, 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: DRM /rdp 1. Solicitors are required to file Financial Interest Statements only with their governmental body. 2. Where the firm has been appointed as a solicitor, the governmental body will designate the member of that firm who will file a Financial Interest Statement. 3. Neither the firm nor all of its members is ever considered the public employee. If the municipality does not designate one person, a request should be sent to the Ethics Commission asking for a special guideline. G David R. Morrison Chief Counsel State Ethics Commission • 308 Finance Building • Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
