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.
