HB2941 amends the Texas Government Code to restrict political contributions and lobbyist compensation by individuals appointed to public office by the governor. Specifically, individuals are ineligible for gubernatorial appointments if they made political contributions exceeding $2,500 to the governor or a specific-purpose committee in the year preceding the appointment. Serving appointees are also barred from making such contributions during their tenure. Additionally, appointees must attest that they will not compensate lobbyists for communications with the executive or legislative branch.
