Ok. Maybe not quite.
Missouri Bill Would Require Lobbyists To Disclose Sex With Lawmakers
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/missouri-bill-sex-lobbyist-lawmaker-disclosure
A bill introduced Wednesday in the Missouri legislature would force a lobbyist to disclose if he or she is having "sexual relations" with a lawmaker or a member of a lawmaker's staff, according to a report from the Kansas City Star.
State Rep. Bart Korman's (R) proposal would define the sexual relationship as a "gift" on monthly ethics disclosures. The gift would not require "a dollar valuation," the bill states.
Here's the bill's language, from the Star:
For purposes of subdivision (2) of this subsection, the term "gift" shall include sexual relations between a registered lobbyist and a member of the general assembly or his or her staff. Relations between married persons or between persons who entered into a relationship prior to the registration of the lobbyist, the election of the member to the general assembly, or the employment of the staff person shall not be reportable under this subdivision. The reporting of sexual relations for purposes of this subdivision shall not require a dollar valuation.
