HF 2016: Relating to permissible gifts offered to, accepted, or received by public officials, public employees, candidates, and certain family members

What it does

Current law generally prohibits public officials, public employees, candidates, and members of such persons’ immediate family from receiving gifts from restricted donors. However, certain limited exceptions are provided, and such persons may receive as a gift, among other things, nonmonetary items with a value of $3 or less from any one restricted donor during one calendar day. Similarly, unless otherwise provided in Code, an organization or association which has as one of its purposes the encouragement of the passage, defeat, introduction, or modification of legislation is prohibited from giving, and a member of the general assembly is prohibited from receiving food, beverages, registration, or scheduled entertainment with a per person value in excess of $3.
