LAW <br /> La. R.S. 42:1112B:No public servant,except as provided in R.S. 42:1120, shall participate <br /> in a transaction involving the governmental entity in which, to his actual knowledge, any <br /> of the following persons has a substantial economic interest: (3) Any person of which he <br /> is an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee. <br /> La. R.S. 42:1102(16) defines "Person" to mean an individual or legal entity other than a <br /> governmental entity, or an agency thereof. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that Section 1112 would not <br /> prohibit your participation in matters involving LARMA if you are elected as a member of <br /> the Pointe Coupee Parish School Board, since LARMA is not a person for purposes of the <br /> Code. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts <br /> as presented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of <br /> Governmental Ethics. Please note that the Board issues no opinion as to past conduct and <br /> that the Board's expressed opinion is limited to an examination of the Code of <br /> Governmental Ethics,the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act,the Lobbyist Disclosure Acts, <br /> and the conflict of interest provisions in the gaming laws. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me at(800)842-6630 or(225)219-5600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Li I - : !ARD !
