Must the recipient of a gift anticipate the possibility of taking action in the future that affects the interests of the donor of the gift?
To an extent, legislators and employees must anticipate whether they will take official action that may affect the donor’s interests. If, at the time the gift is given, the legislator or employee has reason to believe that he or she will take action that may affect the donor’s interests at any time in the future, then this requirement is met. If a legislator or employee is unsure as to what constitutes an “interest that may be affected,” then he or she should contact the Hawaii State Ethics Commission for advice.
