§ 18944.1. Gifts: Agency Provided Tickets or Passes.
(b) Agency Ticket/Pass Distribution Policy. Any distribution of a ticket or pass under this regulation to, or at the behest of, an agency official must be made pursuant to a written agency ticket distribution policy, duly adopted by the legislative or governing body of the agency or, if none, the agency head that contains, at a minimum, all of the following:
(c) Public Record. The policy must be maintained as a public record and is subject to inspection and copying under Section 81008. The agency must post the policy on its website within 30 days of adoption or amendment and send to the Commission by e-mail the agency's website link that displays the policy so that the Commission may post the link.
(2) If the ticket or pass is distributed to a department or other unit of the agency, and not used by a member of the governing body, the chief administrative officer of the agency, political appointee, or department head, the agency may report the name of the department or other unit of the agency receiving the ticket or pass and the number of tickets or passes provided to the department or unit in lieu of reporting the name of the individual employee as otherwise required in subdivision (d)(1).
(3) The forms must be maintained as public records and are subject to inspection and copying under Section 81008(a). The agency must post the form, or a summary of the information on the form, on its website and send to the Commission by e-mail the agency's website link that displays the form so that the Commission may post the website link.
(e) Public Purpose. For purposes of subdivision (b)(2), the agency determines whether the distribution of tickets or passes serves a legitimate public purpose of the agency, consistent with state law. However, a ticket or pass distributed to an official for the official's personal use, other than a member of the governing body, the chief administrative officer of the agency, political appointee, or department head, to support general employee morale, retention, or to reward public service is deemed to serve a public purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, “personal use” is limited to the official and the official's family, or no more than one guest.
(f) Application. This regulation applies solely to a ticket or pass, as those terms are defined in Regulation 18946, to an event or function provided by an agency to an official of the agency, or at the behest of an official of that agency. The provisions of this regulation apply only to the benefits the official receives from the ticket or pass that are provided to all members of the public with the same class of ticket or pass. This regulation does not apply to the following:
