Section 36-25-7, Code of Alabama 1975, as amended in the 2010 First Special Session by Act 2010-764, prohibits a person from offering or giving anything to a public official or public employee, as well as members of their households or family, for the purpose of influencing official action. Similarly, this section prohibits a public official or public employee, as well as members of their households or family, from soliciting or receiving anything for the purpose of influencing official action.
This bill would clarify that the prohibited offer, gift, solicitation, or receipt of anything, as contemplated in Section 36-25-7, Code of Alabama 1975, as amended, must be for the purpose of corruptly influencing official action and would define corruptly.
