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 an approach in which the ceiling is
removed for candidates within the race once certain spending reaches a specified amount, and
adjusting reporting requirements; raising the contribution limit for contributions to candidates for local
office from $500 to $1,000 and authorizing the Ethics Commission to adjust the contribution limit going
forward for changes in the Consumer Price Index; allowing the Ethics Commission to designate the
website to be used in campaign advertisement disclaimers; and increasing the rate at which public
funding is made available to qualified candidates for Mayor or Board of Supervisors.
