RE:
Advisory Opinion request of Ricky White, former employee of the Office of Motor Vehicles, regarding post-employment restrictions.
Facts:
Ricky White was previously employed as a Motor Vehicle Office Manager A, with the La. Office of Motor Vehicles ("OMV") in West Monroe for over twenty years. Mr. White retired on December 31, 2020. Mr. White reported to a Regional Manager and a Field Administrator, who handled the supervision of the office. Among other duties, Mr. White provided compliance analyst services regarding driver's licenses, vehicle registrations, and reinstatements of suspensions/revocations of driving privileges.

Mr. White intends to work as a road test instructor for the West Monroe Driving Academy, where he will ride with students during their driving lessons. He will not administer the driving test on behalf of OMV. While he were employed with OMV, Mr. White did not provide any services with relation to driving instructions or exams.


Mr. White also asks whether he may be employed by a Tag Title & License company that issues driver's licenses and vehicle registrations, as well as offers reinstatement services.

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1121B(1) provides that no former public employee shall, for a period of two years following termination of his public employment, assist another person, for compensation, in a transaction, or in an appearance in connection with a transaction in which such former public employee participated at any time during his public employment and involving the governmental entity by which he was formerly employed, or for a period of two years following termination of his public employment, render, any service which such former public employee had rendered to the agency during the term of his public employment on a contractual basis, regardless of the parties to the contract, to for, or on behalf of the agency with which he was formerly employed.
Recommendations:
Adopt draft advisory opinion.
