La. R.S. 42:1102(13) defines "immediate family" as including the public servant's children, the <br /> spouses of his children, his brothers and their spouses, his sisters and their spouses, his parents, <br /> his spouse, and the parents of his spouse. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you,that based on the facts presented, the Code <br /> of Governmental Ethics prohibits your immediate family member, Jolie Boudreaux, from serving <br /> as the Head Librarian while you serve on the Cameron Parish Library Board. The Board concluded <br /> that going from part time employee at the Grand Lake Branch to Head Librarian over six branch <br /> Libraries is not a normal promotional advancement and therefore the exception in La. R.S. <br /> 42:1119C would not apply. However, the Board instructed me to inform you that there would be <br /> no prohibition to Jolie's employment as Head Librarian once you no longer serve on the Library <br /> Board. <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 /> Suzanne Q. Mooney <br /> For the Board <br />
