In such instances, the state officer or employee also may accept a token or souvenir gift or memento commemorating the occasion provided the item given is of a value commensurate with the occasion and is neither monetary or a cash equivalent. A professional, civic or community event shall not include political events. An employee for an elected state officer may accept a meal at a political event he or she attends with the elected state officer as long as he or she is not on state time.
