Missouri state congressman Bart Korman has introduced an amendment to a state law that classifies sex as a gift lobbyists must declare in disclosure forms alongside other forms of spending to ensure lawmakers support their client’s priorities.

The amendment reads: “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.”

Korman told the press : “We’ve already got a lobbyist gift reporting requirement and so that’s how I worked it in there, by treating it as a definition of gift. I hope it deters any of that activity, but that if activity does occur, it’s at least transparent.”

Many believe this amendment was proposed because of the sexual harassment scandal involving state senator Paul LeVota.

In addition, 2 months earlier, republican house speaker John Diehl left his position after sexually explicit text messages exchanged with an intern were exposed.
