Hoping to restore faith in city contracting after several nonprofits were found noncompliant this year, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will consider new legislation known as “Comprehensive Contract Reform” during its weekly meeting on Sept. 10.

If approved by the board, the proposal would prevent city contractors from using grant money for political activities—with rules mandating they keep separate accounts; create strict boundaries for staff time, resources, and facilities; and disclose activities shared with political organizations.
