Section 18942.2 - Definition of Home Hospitality
Home Hospitality. "Home hospitality" means any benefit received by the official, and the official's spouse and family members when accompanying the official, consisting of food, typical home entertainment, or occasional overnight lodging provided by an individual with whom the official has a relationship, connection, or association unrelated to the official's position and the hospitality is provided as part of that relationship, connection, or association in the individual's home when the individual is present. Home hospitality includes any food provided by other guests at the event and benefits received by the official when the official serves as the host. "Home" includes a vacation home owned, rented, or leased, by the individual for use as the individual's residence, including a timeshare with deeded ownership or a continual right-to-use ownership benefit, and a motor home or boat owned, rented, or leased by the individual for use as the individual's residence. "Home" also includes any facility in which the individual has a right-to-use benefit by the individual's home residency, such as a community clubhouse. Any benefit received, other than the use of the premises, by any guests of the official other than the official's spouse and family members who are present at the request of the official or the official's agent are gifts to the official.
