Summary

General Assembly Conflicts of Interests Act; prohibited conduct related to travel. Prohibits members of the General Assembly from accepting any lodging, transportation, hospitality, or other travel-related thing of value with an aggregate value in excess of $250 from any lobbyist, lobbyist's principal, or person, organization, or business who is a party to or is seeking to become a party to a contract with the Commonwealth, prior to submitting to the Virginia Conflict of Interest and Ethics Advisory Council a request to accept such thing of value and receiving approval of the request.
