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.
Dollar valuation is put on sex all the time. Why not here?
So, legal prostitution just as long as you report it…after the fact? I mean, they are declaring sex a “gift”, with no monetary value associated.
Someone really needs to improve this story and insert an amendment requiring monetary value BE associated with it…like any other gift
Can we get a look at these lobbyists and lawmakers before we go all-in on THIS kind of visibility?
Go check Ashley Madison/escort website…
I’m sure there are $ amounts for sex…kinky or otherwise.
Lobbyists are just pimps for big industry… there must be some kind of ratio for deals::laws.
I am more inclined to support a law that requires Missouri lawmakers, and all other lawmakers, to report sex with their constituents in the context of when they’re fucking them with their legislation.
