Best answer by DawnC0

A fee-based public official is an individual who receives and retains remuneration directly from the public. An individual who receives payment for services from government funds in the form of a wage or salary is not a fee-based public official, even if the compensation is called a fee. Most government employees are not considered fee-based. This is a rare situation.

Generally, a position compensated by a salary and fees is considered a fee-basis position if the fees are the principal source of compensation unless State law provides that a position for which any salary is paid is not a fee-basis position.
