DECLARATION: NONDISCRIMINATION IN CONTRACTS AND BENEFITS
(CMD-12B-101)
The Equal Benefits Ordinance prohibits the City and County of San Francisco from contracting with vendors
that discriminate in the provision of benefits between employees with domestic partners and employees with
spouses, and between the domestic partners and spouses of such employees.
•
Domestic Partners are same-sex and opposite-sex couples registered with any state or local government
agency authorized to perform such registrations.
Domestic partnerships and marriages may only be verified to the same extent and in the same manner.
•
For example, waiting periods to qualify for benefits must be the same for domestic partners and spouses.
Domestic partner registry certificates must be recognized as fully equivalent to marriage certificates.
