If you need guidance about the Ethics Law and related statutes as they
apply to an action you are considering, you can request an advisory
opinion. You can write to the Commission, setting forth the question
you wish to ask, and providing any other relevant information. Please
provide a telephone number or e-mail address so Commission staff can
contact you with any follow-up questions. Because opinions provide immunity,
there is a significant demand for them, and it may take time for you
to receive your answer. If you need an answer by a particular time,
please mention that in your request. The Commission staff will attempt
to accommodate reasonable requests for guidance.
Send your request to:
Paul M. Nick
Executive Director
Ohio Ethics Commission
William Green Building
30 West Spring Street, L3
Columbus, Ohio 43215-2256
