Enactment #:
Title:
Ordinance amending the Campaign and Governmental Conduct Code to modify the public financing
program for candidates for the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors by replacing the current process
of continuous adjustments of individual expenditure ceilings to a “one-and-done” approach in which
the ceiling is removed for all candidates within the race once certain spending reaches a specified
amount, and adjusting reporting requirements; raise the campaign contribution limit from $500 to
$1,000 and authorize the Ethics Commission to adjust the contribution limit going forward for changes
in the Consumer Price Index; and allow the Ethics Commission to designate the website to be used in
campaign advertisement disclaimers.
