Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 5:35-1.6

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

(a) A municipal or county ethics board, established pursuant to the Local Government Ethics Law, which has before it a request for an advisory opinion from a local government employee or officer regulated by its code of ethics and which is unable to act on the request because a majority of the board has a conflict of interest or is otherwise precluded by ethical considerations from rendering an advisory opinion, shall request the Local Finance Board to assume original jurisdiction.

(b) The procedures, to the extent applicable, contained in 5:35-1.5 shall be followed for making the request and for determining whether the Board will assume jurisdiction or direct the county or municipal ethics board to consider the advisory opinion. If the Board assumes jurisdiction of the matter, the Board will only issue an advisory opinion as to whether the proposed conduct or action constitutes a violation of the State's code of ethics.
