Gifts of Event Tickets to County Officials (FPPC Form 802)

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requires an agency official to report, using Form 802, the acceptance of tickets to entertainment events, sporting events, and like occasions when he/she performs a ceremonial role or function on behalf of the public agency.  Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Regulation 18944.1 sets out the circumstances under which an agency’s distribution of tickets to entertainment events, sporting events and like occasions would not result in a gift to individuals that attend the function.  The Form 802 serves to detail each event and the public purpose of each agency distribution.  FPPC Regulation 18942 lists exceptions to reportable gifts, including ceremonial events, when listed on this form.

Agency officials do not report the admissions on the official’s Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700, and the value of the admission is not subject to the gift limit.  The Form 802 also informs the public as to whether the admissions were made at the behest of an agency official and whether the behested tickets were provided to an organization or specific individuals.

For more information or to complete a Form 802, visit the FPPC’s website at: http://www.fppc.ca.gov/forms.  Completed Forms 802 must be filed with the County Clerk/Recorder.
