Advisory Opinion 1992-028
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
Abstract
Sheriffs are advised to reimburse the county for use of a publicly-assigned vehicle in election campaign activities. For the purposes of the Ethics Reform Act, deputy sheriffs are considered public employees and would be subject to restrictions as public employees. The nepotism provision applies to sheriffs and other elected officials. A sheriff seeking reimbursement of expenses for out-of-state speaking engagements would have to seek approval from the Chief executive of the county.
