La. R.S. 42:1111C(2)(d) provides that no public servant and no legal entity in which the public <br /> servant exercises control or owns an interest in excess of twenty-five percent, shall receive any <br /> thing of economic value for or in consideration of services rendered, or to be rendered, to or for <br /> any person during his public service unless such services are: (d) Neither performed for nor <br /> compensated by any person or from any officer, director, agent, or employee of such person, if <br /> such public servant knows or reasonably should know that such person has or is seeking to <br /> obtain contractual or other business or financial relationships with the public servant's agency; <br /> conducts operations or activities which are regulated by the public employee's agency; or has <br /> substantial economic interests which may be substantially affected by the performance or <br /> nonperformance of the public employee's official duty.(emphasis added) <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that based on the facts presented; the <br /> Code of Governmental Ethics would not prohibit you from providing services to the Louisiana <br /> Bureau of Emergency Management. Since the Louisiana Bureau of Emergency Management is <br /> not a person you would not be accepting compensation for services form a person in violation of <br /> Section 1111C2(d) of the Code. However, If you were to accept a position as a trainer for <br /> LDH/OBH to provide SafeTALK T4T training Section 1111C1(a) would prohibit you from <br /> continuing to provide the same service, SafeTALK T4T training, for living network.net. <br /> Additionally, the Board instructed me to inform you that this request may present a dual office <br /> holding issue which is under the jurisdiction of the Attorney General. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts <br /> presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The <br /> Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or laws other than Code of Governmental Ethics. If <br /> you have any questions, please contact me at(225) 219-5600 or(800) 842-6630. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> Suzanne Quinlan Mooney <br /> For the Board <br />
