House Committee Okays Murphey's 'No Gifts List'

To avoid the slightest appearance of corruption, state lawmakers would be able to sign up for a "No Gifts List" that prevents lobbyists from giving legislators any item of value under a bill approved by a House committee today.

House Bill 2444, by Rep. Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, would require the Ethics Commission to create and maintain a voluntary "No Gifts List."

Under the bill, lobbyists would be prevented from giving items to any lawmakers on the list.
