Colorado
The Law: Restrictions on Gifts to State Employees
Colorado law prohibits any state employee from soliciting, accepting, or receiving, directly or indirectly,
any gift or other item of value (including meals), regardless of form (e.g., money, service loan, travel,
entertainment, hospitality, or promise) worth more than $50 in any calendar year.
As with any other customer, colleagues may not provide any type of gift, regardless of value, to a
Colorado state employee if the gift is intended or expected to influence or reward that employee in the
performance of any activity related to his or her official duties.
