SEC. 3.1-100. DEFINITIONS.
§ 3.1-100
This section defines 'Political Reform Act' as California's 1974 campaign-finance law (including future amendments) and directs that all other terms in this chapter take their meanings from that state law where applicable.
When this chapter uses the term 'Political Reform Act,' it means California's 1974 campaign-finance law as it existed when San Francisco adopted this rule, plus any changes made to it later. For any other words in this chapter, if California's Political Reform Act defines them, those definitions apply here too.
- Complex:The provision's reference to the state law 'as said Act reads on the date this ordinance is adopted and as said Act may be amended from time to time' creates a potentially evolving standard that requires readers to track both the current state law and any future amendments to understand what this ordinance means at any given time.
