San Francisco County Municipal Code Art. X Sweatfree

COUNCIL

Sec. 5.10-1. Advisory Council.

Editor’s Notes: Former Ch. 5, Art. X, “Food Security Task Force,” comprising former Secs. 5.10-1 and 5.10-2, was repealed by Ord. 99-26, effective June 29, 2026. Former Ch. 5, Art. X, “Safer Schools Sexual Assault Task Force,” comprising former Secs. 5.10-1 through 5.10-7, expired per the terms of its sunset provision (former Sec. 5.10-7) and was removed from the Code at the direction of the Office of the City Attorney. Ord. 260-18 established the Cannabis Oversight Committee under Article X of Chapter 5 of the Administrative Code. But, as of the effective date of Ord. 260-18, Article X housed a pre-existing ordinance, Ord. 173-18, establishing the Food Security Task Force. Accordingly, Ord. 260-18 has been redesignated as Article XXXVIII, with internal section numbers and cross-references renumbered to reflect the redesignation.

SEC. 5.10-1. ADVISORY COUNCIL.¶

(1)1 The City shall establish a Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council, which shall be an Advisory Body as defined in Section 5.1-

The Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council shall evaluate the industries engaged in the manufacture and sale of goods to determine whether contracts for any goods, in addition to apparel and garments, should be targeted for enforcement, and to evaluate the implementation, administration, and enforcement of Article 16 of the Labor and Employment Code (“Article 16”)1. To determine whether a particular good shall be targeted for enforcement, the factors that the Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council shall consider shall include, but not be limited to: (A) the amount the City has spent, and anticipates spending, for such good; (B) evidence of sweatshop labor or other conditions prohibited by Article 16 in the manufacturing, assemblage, or distribution of such good; and (C) any financial impact that targeting the good for enforcement will have on the City. At the end of each fiscal year, the Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council shall submit a written report to the Director of the Office of Contract Administration (“Director”) and the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement that contains any recommendations on the administration, implementation, and enforcement of Article 16, or the application of Article 16 to other goods. The report shall include the supporting information upon which each recommendation is based and a report on the financial impact that adoption of the recommendation will have on the City. The Director may submit any recommendation to extend the applicability of Article 16 to other goods to the Board of Supervisors. Upon the adoption of an ordinance approving such recommendation, contracts for the purchase of such goods shall be subject to Article 16. The Director, in the Director’s discretion, may adopt other recommendations of the Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council subject to the Municipal Code and the Charter. (2) The Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council shall advise the Office of Contract Administration on how the City may maximize its purchase of goods produced in San Francisco. (3) The Sweatfree Procurement Advisory Council shall consist of eleven members. The Mayor and the Board of Supervisors shall each appoint five members. The Controller shall appoint one member. At least one of the Board of Supervisors’ appointees and one of the Mayor’s appointees must have significant experience representing employees in labor matters. At least one of the Board of Supervisors’ appointees and one of the Mayor’s appointees must have significant experience acquiring goods or services for a public entity.
