Bill would define official access and address promises to provide it

The introduced bill would define “access” and refer to explicit promises to provide it in two bribery-related clauses. The definition covers matters before an official or that may legally come before that official. The promise must be explicit. The text defines access as using an official’s ability to influence a decision or action in an official role or position of trust. The bill was introduced and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The recorded action history does not show adoption.
