2041. BRIBERY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS
---------------------------------------------------------
The first offense, codified in section 201(b), prohibits the giving or accepting of anything of value to or by a public official, if the thing is given "with intent to influence" an official act, or if it is received by the official "in return for being influenced."
The second offense, codified in section 201(c), concerns what are commonly known as "gratuities," although that word does not appear anywhere in the statute. Section 201(c) prohibits that same public official from accepting the same thing of value, if he does so "for or because of" any official act, and prohibits anyone from giving any such thing to him for such a reason.
The specific subsections of the statute are:
a. § 201(b)(1): offering a bribe to a public official
b. § 201(b)(2): acceptance of a bribe by a public official
Gratuities
a. § 201(c)(1)(A): offering a gratuity to a public official
b. § 201(c)(1)(B): acceptance of a gratuity by a public official....
