CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to advise you, that under the narrow facts <br /> presented herein La. R.S. 42:1113A would not prohibit LSMBE from entering into a contract with <br /> Jones Walker for legal services, provided your son does not participate in any transaction with <br /> LSMBE. La. R.S. 42:1113A prohibits a public servant, or a member of such public servant's <br /> immediate family,or a legal entity in which he has controlling interest,from bidding on or entering <br /> into any contract, subcontract or other transaction that is under the supervision or jurisdiction of <br /> the public servant's agency. Your son does not have a controlling interest in Jones Walker and he <br /> will not be participating in any transactions for LSBME, therefore under these circumstances, <br /> LSBME will not be prohibited from entering into a contract with the Jones Walker law firm. <br /> However, Mr. Culotta's son will have to file a financial disclosure in compliance with La. R.S. <br /> 42:1114A(2) every year on May 15 after the contract is entered into. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts presented <br /> may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The Board issues no <br /> opinion as to past conduct or laws other than Code of Governmental Ethics. If you have any <br /> questions, please contact me at (225) 219-5600 or(800) 842-6630. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> /2v(— <br /> Suzanne Q. Mooney <br /> For the Board <br />
