How do I request an Advisory Opinion?

 

Requesting an opinion for yourself

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:

David E. Freel
Executive Director
Ohio Ethics Commission
William Green Building
30 West Spring Street, L3
Columbus, Ohio 43215-2256

Requesting an opinion about someone else

The Commission cannot provide advisory opinions in response to questions about someone other than the requester. If you have a question about the possible actions of another person, you can request general information from the Commission.

 

Requesting an opinion about an action already taken

The Commission cannot provide advisory opinions in response to questions about actions that have already been taken. If you have a question about an action that has already been taken, you can request general information from the Commission.
