Amends Rule XXV (Limitations on Outside Earned Income and Acceptance of Gifts) of the Rules of the House of Representatives to repeal the exception of gifts from state and local governments from the limitations on acceptance of such gifts by Members, officers, and employees of the House (thus applying such limitations to such gifts).

Considers a reimbursement to such individuals from a state or local government for travel-related expenses in connection with their duties as an officeholder as a reimbursement to the House and not a prohibited gift.
