OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Correspondence and telephone calls.

- Any appearance or practice in a paid, representative capacity in any matter pending before the board is activity regulated by this section; this is so even if the activity involves contact limited to members of the board's staff. No exceptions or distinctions are made between particular activities undertaken in that capacity; correspondence and telephone calls are as much within the statute as are personal appearances. 1974 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 74-22.

- Board may require a representative to disclose whether a fee is involved and whether the representative is an attorney; however, the board may not require disclosure of the amount of fee but may seek its voluntary disclosure. 1974 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 74-22.
