The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has established criteria regarding gifts to employees. The criteria establishes when a gift to an individual employee who is controlled by the agency may be deemed a gift to the
agency and not the individual.
FPPC Form 801 is required of all state and local government agencies to disclose gifts made to the agency when the gifts provide a personal benefit to an official of the agency*. If the gift provides a personal benefit, the head of the agency, or his or her designee, must select the individual who will use the gift. Examples are travel, including transportation, accommodations and food. The gifts must be used for official agency business and must meet other requirements set out in
FPPC Regulation 18944.2, which is available on the
FPPC website.
