Wisconsin Administrative Code › Ethics Commission › Chapter ETH 16 - Lobbying › Section ETH 16.02 - Hospitality, defined

Current through June 24, 2024
When used in s.
						19.42(1),
						Stats.,"hospitality" includes but is not limited to meals, beverages and
						lodging which a host other than an organization offers a guest on premises
						owned or occupied by the host or his or her immediate family as the host's
						principal or seasonal residence. Hospitality is unrelated to state business if
						the hospitality would be extended if the recipient or a member of the
						recipient's immediate family did not hold a state public
						office.
Anything of value is defined at s.
							19.42(1),
							Stats., and later appears at ss.
							19.42(6) and
							19.45(2), (3) and
							(4), Stats. Specifically excluded from the
							term is ". . . hospitality extended for a purpose unrelated to state business
							by a person other than an organization."
In general, these sections provide that a state public
							official may not use his or her public office to obtain anything of substantial
							value and may not accept anything of value if it could reasonably be expected
							to influence the official's judgment. Moreover, a state official must report
							annually the acceptance of anything of value received as a gift from someone
							other than a relative if its value exceeds $50.
ETH 16.02 identifies the most common situations coming within
							the hospitality exclusion. Many other circumstances may come within the
							exclusion (e.g., wedding receptions, theater parties, hunting trips) but
							because of their diverse character no general rule can be stated. Written
							opinions on the term's application to situations not addressed here may be
							obtained from the board on request.
The rule also identifies the circumstances under which
							hospitality is unrelated to state business.
