Gifts to Public Office Holders Report

The LTA requires that ALL gifts given or promised to be given by a lobbyist to ALL public office holders the lobbyist is lobbying must be declared. A gift to a public office holder whom the lobbyist is lobbying is only acceptable if it meets both parts of the two-part test in the LTA:

• The gift is given or promised under the protocol or social obligations that normally accompany the duties or responsibilities of office of the public office holder; AND
• The total value of gifts given or promised to the public office holder by the lobbyist in accordance with protocol or social obligations over any given 12-month period is less than $100.
