R.S. 42:1102(13)means a public servant's children,the spouses of his children, <br /> his brothers and their spouses,his sisters and their spouses,his parents,his spouse,and the parents <br /> of his spouse. Ms. Hamilton is not an immediate family member of Mr. Boyd. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein.
