9 AAC 52.060. Gifts

(a) As used in the Ethics Act and this chapter, a gift is a transfer or loan of property or provision of services to a public officer for less than full value. Unless rebutted by other evidence, an occasional gift worth $50 or less is presumed not to be given under circumstances in which it could be reasonably inferred that the gift is intended to influence an officer's performance of official duties, actions, or judgment.

(b) For purposes of AS 39.52.130 , travel or lodging of any value received by a public officer in connection with a trip that the public officer takes as part of the officer's official duties is not an improper gift if the monetary value of the travel or lodging is comparable to the cost that the state would have had to pay for the travel or lodging and

(1) the head of the officer's agency determines that the gift is to the state, not to the officer; or

(2) the travel or lodging is incidental transportation by or hospitality at the residence of an individual.
