§ 87210 Gift Disclosure Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't give a gift worth $50 or more to certain people (like government officials) for someone else without telling who you are and who the gift is really from.
  • •If you give the gift, you must tell the person getting it your name, address, job, and the same info about the person who actually paid for the gift.
  • •The person who gets the gift has to write down all this info in a special paper called a 'Statement of Economic Interests'.

Example

Your boss asks you to give a $100 gift card to a city council member, but says to pretend it's from you.

You can't do this without telling the council member your name, address, job, and your boss's info too. The council member then has to write all this down in their special paper.
