Compatibility Opinions Index
Among the questions presented to the Attorney General for resolution by way of
formal opinion are those that concern the compatibility of public offices or positions. An
issue of compatibility is presented whenever one person wishes to hold simultaneously two
or more positions of public service.
The following index, Compatibility of Public Offices or Positions, serves as a
reference guide to the many Attorney General opinions that have addressed the
compatibility of particular public offices or positions. Opinions issued prior to 1965 are
indexed by year of issuance and page number; opinions issued in 1965 and the years
thereafter are indexed by year of issuance and opinion number.
This index lists specific public positions or offices that are either compatible or
incompatible, and enumerates the various Attorney General opinions that have made those
determinations. It is strongly recommended that the opinions listed under particular
positions or offices be consulted whenever one questions the propriety of serving
simultaneously in those positions or offices. An opinion of the Attorney General may find
two positions compatible so long as certain important qualifiers or limiting conditions have
been satisfied. Thus, the listed opinions themselves should be reviewed to ascertain the
presence or absence of such qualifiers or restrictions.
Finally, current versions of statutes, administrative regulations, or local rules or
ordinances that establish or govern a specific office or position always should be examined
to determine whether subsequent amendments have added or removed restrictions upon
holding other offices or positions.
