Baham <br /> Post Office Box 331 <br /> Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821 <br /> Re: Ethics Board Docket No.2018-402 <br /> Dear Ms. Baham: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics, at its June 15, 2018 meeting, considered your request for an <br /> advisory opinion regarding whether the Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit you from owning <br /> and operating a driving school while you are employed or after the termination of your employment with <br /> the Division of Administrative Law as an administrative law judge. You provided that you would like to <br /> start a driving school now as an outside business and later retire and operate the driving school full time. <br /> You stated that driving schools in Louisiana are licensed under the Office of Motor Vehicles. The <br /> Division of Administrative Law does not regulate the driving schools. <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that under the facts presented herein, <br /> nothing in the Code of Governmental Ethics would prohibit you from owning or operating a driving <br /> school while you are employed or after the termination of your public service with the Division of <br /> Administrative Law. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts as <br /> presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Ethics. The Board issues <br /> no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the Code of Governmental Ethics. <br /> If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (800) 842-6630 or (225) 219- <br /> 5600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA BOARD OF ETHICS <br /> /11 <br /> Suzanne Quinlan Mooney <br /> For the Board <br />
