Ray Nichols is requesting an advisory opinion regarding whether the Assumption Parish Police Jury may create a Federal Programs Committee responsible for hiring the director of that program when that committee represents a "simple majority" of the Police Jury. However, Mr. Nichols is not a member of the Assumption Parish Police Jury nor has he asserted he is representing the Police Jury.

Section 601 of the Rules for the Board of Ethics provides that the Board will only render advisory opinions to "affected persons." "Affected person" is defined in the Board's Rules as "any person or governmental agency, or the authorized representative of such person or agency with a demonstrable and objective interest in the Board's interpretation, construction, and application of any law within the Board's jurisdiction."
