F. If a city or county has imposed contribution limits for particular city or county offices (e.g., Board of
Supervisors), do those limits also apply to other positions such as the District Attorney or would the default state limit apply if a particular position is not specifically addressed by the city or county? The default state contribution limit would apply to other positions which the city or county has not set contribution limits. A city or county ordinance must explicitly state the city or county contribution limits and for which elective offices those limits will apply. A city or county may adopt a general provision implementing a contribution limit for all elective city and county offices in that jurisdiction.
G. Does AB 571 apply to special district or school district elections?
No. AB 571 applies only to city and county elections for offices that a city or county has not implemented its own contribution limit. H. Does AB 571 apply to County Superintendent of Schools or the office of County Board of Education? AB 571 does apply to the office of County Superintendent of Schools because it is considered a “county” office. However, the office of County Board of Education is not subject to AB 571 because it is not considered a “county” position.
