SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

General Assembly Conflicts of Interests Act; lobbyists; prohibited gifts; disclosure. Establishes a ban on any single gift with a value in excess of $50, or gifts with an aggregate value in excess of $100, from a single donor, to members and members-elect of the General Assembly. The bill also requires disclosure of permissible gifts; i.e., any single gift with a value of $50 or less and gifts with an aggregate value of $100 or less from a single donor. The bill draws on the rules applicable to members of Congress and lists a series of permissible gifts that must be disclosed. It also imposes a civil penalty for the failure to disclose equal to two times the amount not disclosed.
