Advisory Opinion 2003-002
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
Abstract
Based on the information provided regarding the DHEC regulatory process, the DHEC Board is ultimately responsible for setting agency policy with substantial input from many factions and thus the public employee’s ability to use her employment to obtain an economic interest for herself or her spouse appears remote. However, notwithstanding the apparent remoteness, a public employee must not knowingly use her employment to obtain an economic interest for herself or her spouse. A public employee is required to follow the procedures of Section 8-13-700(B) if a matter comes before her which would affect her or her spouse’s economic interests.
