ADVICE OF CHIEF COUNSEL
May 9, 1980
Advice #80 -628
On April 10, 1980 you wrote to Representative William
H. Ytohn's office protesting the nomination of Mrs. Rubin Miller
for appointment to the Pennsylvania State Dental Examining Board
because she is the wife of Board Member Dr. Rubin Miller.
Representative Yohn's office forwarded your protest to
us because we administer the State Ethics Act.
The Commission has issued a number of Opinions on the
appointment of members of the various state examining boards.
All of these opinions have determined that there is a conflict
of interest only when the candidate for confirmation or the
member of the board also holds an office with the association
representing those to be regulated by that board.
There would be no conflict under Act 170 in the wife of
a board member also serving on that examining board.
