According to the rule as it is written, receiving a gift is not allowed, unless the public office holder can accept it, and it's up to me to do that verification.
In the new code, there will be two categories: gifts and hospitality. The only gifts allowed will be to show appreciation or to thank a public office holder for performing an official function. For hospitality, I have set a limit of $30. That is all that will be allowed. I hope that by setting such a small amount, a public office holder will not be influenced in any way.
