Opinion Number

Dear Ms. Kennerson:

This office knows of no prohibition in the Dual Officeholding and Dual Employment Laws, R.S. 42:61, et seq., which would prevent a member of the Greater Krotz Springs Port Commission from serving as a lobbyist on behalf of the port. The law which is germane to the conduct of lobbyists is the Lobbyist Disclosure Act, R.S. 24:50, et seq.

The Louisiana State Board of Ethics issues advisory opinions interpreting the Lobbyist Disclosure Act; your request has been forwarded to that entity for review.

Very truly yours,

RICHARD P. IEYOUB ATTORNEY GENERAL
