SEC. 1.146. TERMINATION OF PAYMENTS.
§ 1.146
The Controller must stop public financing payments to a candidate if the candidate withdraws from the ballot, fails to meet eligibility conditions, or knowingly violates reporting requirements under local or state law.
If you're getting public money for your campaign, the city will cut off the payments if you drop out of the race, don't meet the rules for getting the money, or deliberately break the record-keeping and reporting rules you're supposed to follow.
- Complex:The section references Section 1.140 and the Political Reform Act without defining what those conditions or reporting requirements actually are, requiring readers to look elsewhere to understand what conduct triggers termination.
