1 23-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the State Ethics Commission may issue advisory opinions

written informal opinions to public officers or employees that would provide immunity to the
officer or employee making the request if all pertinent information was presented and the
officer or employee acted in accordance with the relevant circumstances, factors, and requirements
