ADVICE OF THE COMMISSION
Stanley A. Miller
Commissioner
Professional & Occupational Affairs
Dear Mr. Miller:
Advice #80 -650
On May 19, 1980, you asked whether Mr. Jack Thompson, a
member of the State Board of Cosmetology and recently elected
to a Vice - President position in the Pennsylvania Association
of Cosmetology Schools had a conflict under Act 170.
The Commission has issued a number of opinions (Lutton, 79 -024;
Vavro, 79 -074; Alfano, 80 -007) holding that a member of a State
examining board cannot be an officer in an association representing
the regulatees.
Mr. Thompson's holding of both positions is a conflict of
interest under Act 170 and he must resign from one of the positions.
Pursuant to Section 7(9)(ii), this advice is a complete
defense in any enforcement proceeding initiated by the Commission,
and evidence of good faith conduct in any other civil or criminal
proceeding, providing the requestor has disclosed truthfully all
the material facts and committed the acts complained of in reliance
on the advice given.
You may appeal this advice to the full Commission.
This letter is a public record and will be made available
as such.
