Title

Ethics, further defining "thing of value", allowing gifts to teachers, Sec. 36-25-1 am'd

Description

Under existing law, gifts to public school teachers from a student or parents of the student with specific monetary value are not permissible; however, gifts of nominal value are acceptable.

This bill would further define the term "thing of value" by providing that gifts from a pupil or his or her immediate family member to a principal, teacher, or other person employed by a local school system of an insignificant economic value of less than $100 if the aggregate value of the gifts is less than $250 during any one calendar year under circumstances which make it clear that no quid pro quo was understood or implied.
