I•l®& <br />BLEST BEST & KRIEGER � <br />ATTORNEYS AT LAW?I�j y=��° � �'➢' � T, <br />:1it 1 <br />y f' 1. <br />y.yr F S _I 'V <br />Memorandum ., <br />To: FILING OFFICERS, PUBLIC AGENCY CLIENTS <br />From: BEST BEST & KRIEGER, LLP <br />Date: FEBRUARY 17, 2016 <br />Re: GIFTS: AGENCY PROVIDED TICKETS OR PASSES <br />Regulation 18944.1 creates an exception to the definition of gift for tickets <br />or passes to entertainment, sports or other similar events which are donated to an <br />agency and distributed to certain public officials for use for official public business as <br />long as the agency complies with specified requirements. On December 17, 2016, the <br />Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) revised and amended Regulation 18944.1 <br />regarding the reporting of the distribution of such tickets and passes pursuant to an <br />agency's ticket distribution policy. <br />Originally, Regulation 18944.1 required the agency to: <br />1. Adopt a distribution policy setting provisions required under <br />Regulation 18944.1 and forward a copy to the FPPC for posting; <br />2. Ensure the ticket/pass is used for a governmental purpose; <br />3. Complete Form 802 for each distribution and retain Form 802 as a <br />public record under the Political Reform Act; and <br />4. Forward a copy of the each Form 802 to the FPPC for posting on <br />its website while the agency maintained a copy for its records. <br />The amendment to Regulation 18944.1 had two goals: 1) increase <br />compliance by setting a deadline for agency reporting and posting where there was <br />none; and 2) provide "greater transparency" on ticket distributions by requiring agencies <br />to post their ticket distribution policies and reports directly on their websites. <br />93939.00001\24432777.1 <br />This product provided under the Public Policy & Ethics Group Program. <br />
