A practice section may properly engage in this type of technical assistance to the Legislature or other agencies of government, but must first advise the Commissioners of its intention to do so.(c)Notice to Commissioners. A practice section shall first notify the Commissioners, through the Executive Director, of any intended legislative/political activity to be conducted.
