House Bill 762 amends the Government Code to allow state officers and state employees to solicit or recommend contributions to certain tax-exempt and nonpolitical charitable organizations and to governmental entities. The bill requires that such contributions be made directly to the organization and sets out allowable methods of payment, which include payroll deduction. The bill establishes that such contributions are not considered political contributions or expenditures and are not subject to the gift provisions of the Penal Code.
