available on the same conditions as for the general
public.
(2) Anything for which the school guidance counselor
pays the market value.
(3) A gift from a relative.
(4) Anything provided by an individual on the basis of
a personal friendship, unless the school guidance
counselor has reason to believe that, under the
circumstances, the gift was provided because of the
official position or employment of the school guidance
counselor and not because of the personal friendship. In
determining whether a gift is provided on the basis of
personal friendship, the school guidance counselor must
consider the circumstances in which the gift was offered,

individual giving the gift and the school guidance

(B) Whether, to the actual knowledge of the school
guidance counselor, the individual who gave the gift
personally paid for the gift or sought a tax deduction
or business reimbursement for the gift.
(C) Whether, to the actual knowledge of the school
guidance counselor, the individual who gave the gift
also, at the same time, gave the same or a similar gift
to other school district employees.

other educational institution offering degrees and
instruction beyond the secondary school level.
Each exception listed under this subsection is mutually
exclusive and independent of one another.
(d) A school guidance counselor is not in violation of
this Section if he or she promptly takes reasonable action to
return the gift to the prohibited source or donates the gift or
an amount equal to its value to an appropriate charity that is
exempt from income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
A school guidance counselor or prohibited source who
intentionally violates this Section is guilty of a business
