Relating to prohibitions on lobbyists making certain expenditures and gifts to public servants.

HB 2691 amends Texas law to clarify exceptions to restrictions on lobbyists giving gifts or expenditures to public servants. It specifies that gifts under $50, items related to professional relationships, estate planning services for first responders (via approved programs), and certain non-monetary benefits like facility access are exempt from gift prohibition rules. The bill also updates registration requirements for lobbyists under Government Code Section 305.024, prohibiting them from offering loans or guarantees to certain public servants without disclosure. These changes directly affect lobbyists, state employees, and public officials who receive such benefits. The law aims to define permissible interactions while maintaining transparency in lobbying activities.
