In California, a bribery conviction may carry a prison sentence of up to 15 years and fines of up to three times the amount of the bribe.

Money, goods, services, property and preferment are all common valuables used in bribery. Both the person offering and the person accepting a bribe can be held accountable and convicted of bribery.
