SEC. 1.113. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS DURING SIGNATURE GATHERING PERIODS FOR INITIATIVES, REFERENDA AND RECALLS.
§ 1.113
Committees raising or spending money on initiatives, referenda, and recalls must file extra financial disclosure reports with the Ethics Commission on the 5th and 20th of each month while signatures are being gathered, plus once more on the 5th day after gathering ends, disclosing all contributions and spending since their last report.
If you're collecting money or spending money to support or oppose a ballot measure while people are signing petitions for it, you have to tell the City's Ethics Commission about it. You must file financial reports twice a month (on the 5th and 20th) while the petition is being circulated, and once more on the 5th of the following month after petitions stop being collected. Each report should list all money you received and all money you spent since your last report.
- Complex:The section involves overlapping reporting requirements (Chapter requirements, State law, and this Section), multiple filing dates, and conditional timing ("if necessary") that requires readers to understand when circulation ends.
