SEC. 3.630. REGULATIONS.
§ 3.630
The Ethics Commission must adopt rules and guidelines by January 1, 2023, to implement Chapter 6, including definitions of "interested party" and when a payment is made "at the behest of" a City officer or employee.
The San Francisco Ethics Commission has to create detailed rules and guidelines to explain how Chapter 6 works. These rules must include clear definitions of what "interested party" means and explain when a payment counts as being made "at the behest of" (meaning at the request or direction of) a City officer or employee. The Commission had to finish this by January 1, 2023.
- Complex:The section's effectiveness and meaning depend entirely on the regulations the Ethics Commission adopts, which are not provided in the Code text itself, making it difficult for the public to know what the actual obligations are.
