RE:
Advisory opinion regarding whether the members of the Interstate Commission on Educational Opportunity for Military Children are required to file annual personal financial disclosure statements.
Facts:
The Interstate Commission on Educational Opportunity for Military Children was created by La. R.S. 17:1915G.
Comments:
This request was submitted by BG Gary L. Jones who has been asked to serve on the Interstate Commission on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. Mr. Jones believes that the commission does not have the authority to expend, disburse or invest any funds. However, additional information was requested from the commission regarding the commission's authority to expend, disburse, or invest $10,000 or more in funds in a fiscal year. A response was due by December 26, 2013. No response has been received.

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 requires financial disclosure for each member and designee of a board or commission which has the authority to expend, disburse or invest $10,000 or more of funds in a fiscal year on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.

Recommendations:
Adopt the proposed advisory opinion.

Assigned Attorney: Tracy Barker
