The gift policy for the Utah Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel has been updated. In the revised Policies and Procedures Manual, gifts having a value over $5 are prohibited. Some gifts are permitted within limited exceptions, including gifts not associated with the employee’s position or duties within the office. Additionally, the policy delineates what are permissible expenses for meals, tickets, reimbursements, and gifts when an employee attends a conference, seminar, training session, meeting, site visit, or other similar gathering connected with the employee’s employment.
