ETHICS/CODE: Provides for revisions to the Code of Governmental Ethics

The document was restructured from an enrolled version to an original version, adding a pre-filed constitutional notice and increasing the page count from 24 to 30.

Minor text adjustments were made to the definition of 'things of economic value' to clarify exclusions and ensure consistent legal language.

The list of specific Revised Statutes (R.S.) to be amended was reorganized and slightly reordered for better readability, though the statutes themselves remain the same.

The definition of 'thing of economic value' was modified to explicitly exclude pharmaceutical samples, medical devices, medical foods, and infant formulas when provided to physicians or public employees for patient administration at no cost.

Clarifications were added regarding when options, promises, or undertakings for economic value are considered 'received' for ethical reporting purposes.

The exclusion of salary and benefits for public employees of higher education institutions was clarified to include supplementary compensation from alumni organizations and foundations specifically chartered to aid the institution philanthropically.

The document header was updated from 'Reengrossed' to 'Enrolled' and the page count was adjusted from 31 to 24, indicating the final version ready for signing.

Added R.S. 1121(J) to the list of sections being amended to ensure comprehensive coverage of ethics-related statutes.

Added R.S. 1123(49) to the list of sections being amended to align the bill with the intended legislative intent.
