§ Ethics Rule 4.10Gifts to State Officers or Employees from Regulated and

Licensed Entities.
Except as permitted by these Rules, no state officer or employee
shall accept any gift for himself or herself or for his or her family
member from any person or entity or agent of any person or entity
that is regulated or licensed by the state officer or employee’s
agency; provided, however, this prohibition shall not apply to gifts
that are made by the employer of the state officer or employee or his
or her family member under circumstances that make it clear that the
gift is not motivated by the state officer or employee’s status as a
state officer or employee.
