Advisory Opinion 2016-001
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
Abstract
A State University that is a lobbyist's principal would ordinarily not be able to provide directly to a Constitutional officer gifts in excess of the daily and yearly dollar limitations et forth in Section 2-17-90. The providing of these gifts to the public employees on officer's staff would be more restrictive, only under limited circumstances. However, in the case of season football tickets and suite access provided to the University to the public office (rather than the public official individually) for state-related purposes, such a gift would not be subject to restriction of Section 2-17-90, provided that state-related uses for the tickets take priority over the personal use by individual public officials, public employees, and others.
