June 13, 2000 OPINION NUMBER 00-181 Ms. Ann Raines 1901 Royal Avenue Monroe, Louisiana 71201 Dear Ms. Raines: In response to your inquiry of recent date, note that the Dual Officeholding and Employment Laws of our state, LSA-R.S. 42:61, et seq., do not prohibit an individual from holding local elective office and part-time state appointive office. Of concern would be the prohibition contained in LSA-R.S. 42:63(D), which prohibits one from holding local elective office, and full-time appointive office in the government of the state. However, because the appointive position at issue is part-time, no violation of the statute exists. Thus, you may serve as a local elected city council member while concurrently discharging your responsibilities as a member of the Louisiana Real Estate Commission. I trust this addresses your concerns. Please contact this office should require further assistance. Yours very truly, RICHARD P. IEYOUB ATTORNEY GENERAL BY: _______________________________ CARLOS M.
