          Re: Gifts requiring disclosure under Executive Order 24

    Dear Ms. Guerrero,

               You have requested guidance concerning the scope and
    definition of gifts that require disclosure on the financial
    disclosure statement (FDS) mandated for certain employees by
    Governor Christie's Executive Order 24 (Gov. Christie, Apr. 27,
    2010) (E024).   Because both the Executive Order and the FDS
    identify gifts and other gratuities as a component of income,
    it is reasonable to conclude that the Executive Order requires
    disclosure on the FDS of gifts and others gratuities that
    constitute income.  This limitation established by the language
    and structure of the Executive Order renders non-income gifts
    that employees might receive from friends or family outside of
    the disclosure requirements established by EO24.

               The duty of designated public employees to disclose
    personal financial interests is entirely a function of executive
    order.     The State Ethics Commission has not promulgated any
