Gift Ban - 7 of 25

Incorrect answer:

YES. You plan to use your Aspen ski weekend over Valentine's Day and therefore it will be a special occasion, an exception to the gift ban under Amendment 41, making acceptance of the silent auction item permissible is INCORRECT.

While Amendment 41 does permit a covered individual to accept a gift from a relative or personal friend on a special occasion, the silent auction itself is not a special occasion, and the gift is not from a relative or personal friend. Therefore, that exception to the gift ban is inapplicable to this situation.
