SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

General Assembly Conflicts of Interests Act; prohibited conduct related to travel. Prohibits members of the General Assembly from accepting any lodging, transportation, hospitality, or other travel-related thing of value with an aggregate value in excess of $250 from any lobbyist, lobbyist's principal, or person, organization, or business who is a party to or is seeking to become a party to a contract with the Commonwealth, prior to submitting to the Virginia Conflict of Interest and Ethics Advisory Council a request to accept such thing of value and receiving approval of the request. The bill requires the Council to approve such a request where at least 90 percent of the travel is dedicated to the purpose of economic development, diplomacy, trade relations, or education or is in furtherance of carrying out duties imposed by statute or the work of any standing committee of the General Assembly or legislative interim study commission or committee. This bill was incorporated into SB 1424.
