Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) Code of Ala. 1975, §
								36-25-1(34)(b)(15) authorizes the Director of the Ethics Commission to pre-certify a function or activity. Anyone may invite a public official or public employee and their spouse to attend a pre-certified function or activity without violating the Alabama Ethics Act so long as the invitation is not for the purpose of corruptly influencing official action. A public official or public employee and their spouse may attend a pre-certified function or activity without violating the Alabama Ethics Act so long as the attendance at the function or activity would not constitute accepting something to corruptly influence their official action.
(2) In order to assist the director in determining whether an event or function should be pre-certified, an application seeking pre-certification shall
(a) Be made in writing to the Director at least 10 calendar days before the function or activity is to take place and
(b) Shall contain a statement of facts sufficient to show that the event or function should be pre-certified.

Alabama Administrative Code › Title 340 - ALABAMA ETHICS COMMISSION › Chapter 340-X-1 - GENERAL OPERATIONS › Section 340-X-1-.06 - Policy For Liquidation Of Campaign Property

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Ala. Code §
								17-5-7.2 (2015) states as follows:
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b),
	    property purchased by or contributed to a principal campaign committee with a
	    value of five hundred dollars ($500) or more shall be liquidated at fair market
	    value or donated to a qualified entity pursuant to subsection (a) of Section
	     17-5-7 not more than 120 days following the election. Any funds generated by the
	    liquidation of the property shall be deposited in the candidate's principal
	    campaign committee account.
(b)
	    Property purchased by or contributed to a principal campaign committee that can
	    be used by the person in the performance of his or her duties of the office he or
	    she was elected to hold need not be liquidated as long as he or she holds office.
The Commission considers "property...with a value of five hundred
		($500) or more" to mean property with a reasonable fair market value of $500
		within the 120 days following an election, not the amount paid for the property
		prior to that time period. The Commission presumes the following property to fall
		below the threshold amount required for this chapter and, therefore, not required
		to be liquidated or donated.
1. Campaign
	    signs, literature, stickers, t-shirts, etc. which upon the conclusion of the
	    campaign have nominal value at best.
