  1 15                           EXPLANATION
  1 16    This bill amends one of the exceptions in the Iowa gift law
  1 17 to the prohibition against public officials and public
  1 18 employees receiving gifts from restricted donors and makes a
  1 19 conforming change in the dollar limitation on gifts of food,
  1 20 drink, registration, or entertainment from certain other
  1 21 persons.  The exception currently provides that public
  1 22 officials and public employees may accept nonmonetary gifts
  1 23 from any one donor during one calendar day if the value of the
  1 24 gift is $3 or less.  The limitation currently restricts
  1 25 organizations or associations which have as a purpose the
  1 26 encouragement of the passage, defeat, introduction, or
  1 27 modification of legislation from giving, and legislators from
  1 28 receiving, food, beverages, registration, or scheduled
  1 29 entertainment with a per person value exceeding $3.  The bill
  1 30 amends that exception and the limitation by raising the
  1 31 maximum value of the gift that may be given and received
  1 32 during one calendar day from $3 to $10.
