No Gratuities for Governing Act of 2024

This bill amends federal law to prohibit government employees and contractors from giving, receiving, or demanding gratuities exceeding $1,000 related to official actions involving transactions of $5,000 or more. It directly affects federal contractors, state/local government employees, and tribal agency staff handling federal funds. Key changes include raising the maximum penalty to up to 2 years in prison (from 1 year) and clarifying that the $5,000 transaction threshold applies to all covered business dealings. The law targets bribery-like conduct in government contracting and services funded by federal dollars.
