ORDINANCE NO. 21-997
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR ADDING DEFINITIONS TO CHAPTER 2.02 AND AMENDING SECTION 2.12.020 OF THE MONTCLAIR MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 571
Summary
AB 571 holds that cities that do not have laws related to limits on campaign contributions to candidates for local elective offices will be governed by the limit set for candidates of elective state offices, which is currently $4,900 per contributor (adjusted biennially each odd–numbered year based on CPI). Ordinance No. 21-997 imposes no limits on contributions to persons running for elective office in the City of Montclair, which overrides the state’s limit for local candidates.
