Gratuities To State Employees Prohibited
State statute (

This State statute is intended to prevent a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict. The consequences of violation of the statute can be severe. Disciplinary action and/or dismissal may result for the employee, and debarment or suspension from future contract opportunities as well as cancellation of any open contract or purchase order may result for the vendor.
