AI Summary

This bill revises the definition of "thing of value" and requires lobbyists to report gifts they provide to public officials or employees to the Ethics Commission. It also creates new criminal penalties for conflicts of interest by public officials and employees, prohibits certain former officials from lobbying, and establishes procedures for the Ethics Commission to investigate complaints and refer violations to district attorneys for prosecution. The bill repeals the existing ethics law and replaces it with a new Alabama Ethics Act. It also provides for mandatory ethics training for public officials, employees, and lobbyists, and expands the Commission's role in overseeing campaign finance reporting.
