Main Street <br /> Larose, Louisiana 70373 <br /> Re: Docket No. 2025-196 <br /> Advisory Opinion <br /> Dear Mrs. Breaux: <br /> The Louisiana Board of Ethics, at its ineeting on June 6, 2025, considered your request for an <br /> advisory opinion as to whether the Code of Governmental Ethics ("Code") prohibits you from <br /> serving as the elected Coroner of Lafourche Parish while also serving as a reserve deputy with the <br /> Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office. <br /> FACTS PROVIDED <br /> You are cunently serving as the elected Coroner of Lafourche Parish. You would like to <br /> simultaneously serve as a reserve deputy with the Lafourche Parish Sheriffs Office. You ask <br /> whether holding both positions may result in any potential violation of the Code. <br /> ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION <br /> The Board concluded and instructed me to infonn you that no provision of the Code prohibits you <br /> from serviilg as the elected Coroner of Lafourche Parish while also serving as a reserve deputy <br /> with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff s Office. However, serving as an elected official and working as <br /> a reserve officer for the same parish may present an issue concenling Louisiana Dual Officeholding <br /> and Dual Employment prohibitions,which are not under the jurisdiction of the Board but are under <br /> the Attorney General's jurisdiction. The Board suggests that you contact that office regarding the <br /> application of those laws.A copy of your request and this opinion will be forwarded to the Attorney <br /> General's Office. <br /> This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts set forth herein. Changes to the facts as presented <br /> may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Governmental Ethics. The <br /> Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the Code of Governmental <br /> Ethics, the Campaigil Finance Disclosure Act, the Lobbyist Disclosure Acts, and the conflict of <br /> interest provisions contained in the Louisiana Gaming Control Law. If you have any questions, <br /> please call me at (800) 842-6630 or (225) 219-5600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> LOUISIANA SOARD OF ETHICS <br /> � <br /> ssica T.
