Section 1.03 - Advisory Opinions to Municipal Employees(1) Upon written request by any municipal employee, including an employee of a municipal district, a regional municipal entity, a former municipal employee or a prospective municipal employee, the Commission shall issue a formal advisory opinion under M.G.L. c. 268B, § 3(g). Copies of any such opinions, excepting the name of the requesting person and any other identifying information, shall be forwarded to any city corporation counsel, city solicitor or town counsel who has subscribed with the Commission to receive the opinions. The Commission may decline to issue an opinion if the employee has requested an opinion on the same matter from the city corporation counsel, city solicitor or town counsel and a copy of the opinion has been filed with the Commission as provided in 930 CMR 1.03(3).(2) An advisory opinion issued by the Commission under M.G.L. c. 268B, § 3(g) is binding on the Commission in any subsequent proceedings only with respect to the person who requested the opinion and to those upon whose behalf he requested the opinion. The Commission is not bound by an opinion whose material facts were omitted or misstated by the person in the request for the opinion, or who otherwise acted in bad faith in securing the opinion.(3) Any city corporation counsel, city solicitor or town counsel who files with his respective municipal clerk an advisory opinion issued under M.G.L. c. 268A, § 22 shall also file a copy of the opinion with the Commission. Following receipt of the opinion, the Commission, acting through the Executive Director, shall notify the city corporation counsel, city solicitor or town counsel of any legal conclusions in the opinion which are inconsistent with Commission conclusions on similar issues under M.G.L. c. 268A or are otherwise, in the Commission's judgment, incorrect, incomplete or misleading. If no such notification is sent by the Commission within 30 days of receipt of the opinion, the opinion will be binding upon the Commission to the extent and in the manner stated in 930 CMR 1.03(2). An advisory opinion issued by a corporation counsel, city solicitor or town counsel under M.G.L. c. 268A, § 22, a copy of which is not filed with the Commission, is not binding upon the Commission.
