HCS/SB 1288 - This act bars executive branch employees from accepting gifts from lobbyists. Employees who unknowingly accept gifts may return the gift, pay market value for the gift, or donate the gift to charity. Currently, lobbyists must report expenditures on occasions when members of a standing committee of either the house of representatives or the senate are invited in writing. This act extends this requirement to expenditures for occasions where members of any committee of the house or senate are invited. CHRIS HOGERTY |
