Effective: 9-1-13 |

Current law exempts certain gifts and benefits from the offense of offering a gift to a public servant and the offense of a public servant's soliciting, accepting, or agreeing to accept a gift from a person known to be subject to the public servant's jurisdiction. Senate Bill 148 amends the Penal Code to exempt from these statutory provisions complimentary legal advice or legal services relating to an estate planning document rendered to a first responder through an approved program or clinic that is operated by a local bar association or the State Bar of Texas.
