Additionally, La. R.S. 42:1121C prohibits any entity in which you are an officer, director, <br /> trustee, partner, or employee, for a period of two years following the termination of your <br /> public employment, from assisting another person, for compensation, in a transaction or in <br /> an appearance in connection with a transaction in which you participated at any time during <br /> your public employment and which involved your former public employer. <br /> As a result, Section 1121B(1) of the Code would not prohibit you from providing remedia- <br /> tion consulting services provided you do not receive compensation for your services on pro- <br /> jects that you participated in while you were employed by the Department of Environmental <br /> Quality,Underground Storage Tank and Remediation Division. <br /> However, you are prohibited for two years from the time of your termination as a public <br /> servant from contracting directly or indirectly through another company, with the DEQ to <br /> provide the same services you provided during your public service. Further, the Board in- <br /> structed me to caution you that Section 1121C of the Code would prohibit any legal entity in <br /> which you are an officer, director, trustee, partner, or employee from assisting a person in a <br /> transaction, or in an appearance in connection with a transaction, in which you participated <br /> while employed by the DEQ for a period of two years following your termination of public <br /> service. <br /> In order to receive a more detailed advisory opinion regarding specific contractors you <br /> would like to provide services to,please forward the particular set of facts and circumstances <br /> surrounding any potential contract or employment such as the name of the contractor and <br /> the relationship they may have with your former agency. <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.
