T.C.A. § 3-6-305(a)(1) provides, “No employer of a lobbyist or lobbyist may provide a gift, directly or indirectly, to a candidate for public office, official in the legislative branch, official in the executive branch, or immediate family of such candidate or official.”
- The general rule is that gifts, direct or indirect, from Employers of Lobbyists and Lobbyists to a candidate for public office, an official in the legislative or executive branch (including all employees of both), or the immediate family of the candidate or official are prohibited; in addition, these public officials cannot attempt to solicit, directly or indirectly, a gift from a Lobbyist or an Employer. (see T.C.A. § 3-6-305.) Note: Certain items are, by statute, excluded from the definition of gift, including campaign contributions and the waiver of a conference or registration fee.
