Dear Mr. Light:
PJS/ j c
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
June 6, 1980
ADVICE OF THE COMMISSION
On December 21, 1979 you asked whether you are a public employee
and what restrictions would be placed on any lobbying activities you
might undertake should you leave the employ of the Pennsylvania Senate.
Advice #80 -668
You wrote that you review legislation to determine whether amendments
are needed or possible, answer any questions on the content of legis-
lation before the Senate Constitutional Changes Committee, and work with
lobbyists when they want to pass their views on legislation or issues to
Senator Early.
You are a public employee as that term is used in Act 170. You
would be restricted from representing anyone before Senator Early, his
staff and the Senate Constitutional Changes Committee for a period of
one year after you leave your position with the Senate.
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.
