Amends existing law to prohibit offering pecuniary benefits to public servants under certain circumstances.
CRIMES -- Amends existing law to prohibit offering pecuniary benefits to public servants under certain circumstances.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This Legislation amends Section 18-1356 of Idaho Code to clarify that it is illegal for any organization who has official business before a public entity to offer payments or anything of value to an employee of that public entity. Currently, no provision in law specifically forbids this practice. Idaho Code is clear that the practice of “accepting” such offers is illegal, but the practice of “offering” these items is not illegal. This legislation would specifically forbid making such offers to employees of public entities from any organization doing business with that public entity.
