DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation would prohibit lobbyists and lobbyist principals
from giving honorarium to public officials and would prohibit public
officials from knowingly accepting such.  Lobbyists would also be prohibited
from providing tickets to public officials for out-of-state sporting events.
"Honorarium" would be defined as any payment made for giving a speech, making
an appearance or writing an article, but would not include reimbursement for
expenses incurred.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
