submitted 10 years ago by Pub. L. 114-328 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 142 words · no verdicts yet
This section punishes certain bribery involving people subject to the chapter. It covers both receiving something valuable to influence an official decision and offering or giving something valuable for that purpose.
(a) Asking, accepting, or receiving something valuable. A person subject to this chapter violates this provision if both of these are true:
(1) The person holds an official position or has official duties; and
(2) The person wrongfully asks for, accepts, or receives something valuable intending to influence the person's decision or action about an official matter in which the United States has an interest.
The person may be punished as a court-martial directs.
(b) Promising, offering, or giving something valuable. A person subject to this chapter who wrongfully promises, offers, or gives something valuable to another person who holds an official position or has official duties, intending to influence that other person's decision or action about an official matter in which the United States has an interest, may be punished as a court-martial directs. This section does not define “thing of value” or “official matter.”
Any person subject to this chapter—
who occupies an official position or who has official duties; and
who wrongfully asks, accepts, or receives a thing of value with the intent to have the person’s decision or action influenced with respect to an official matter in which the United States is interested;
shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Any person subject to this chapter who wrongfully promises, offers, or gives a thing of value to another person, who occupies an official position or who has official duties, with the intent to influence the decision or action of the other person with respect to an official matter in which the United States is interested, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
