Advisory Opinion 2017-001
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 set forth in S.C. Code Ann. 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 by the University to the public office (rather than the public official or public employee individually), such a gift would not be subject to restrictions of Section 2-17-90, provided that the tickets are used for state-related purposes.
