Prop B enables both parents employed by the City to take the maximum amount of paid parental leave allowed to City employees in addition to 40 hours of sick leave.
Proposition E (Public Meeting Requirements)–No
Prop E, which lost by a margin of 30% of the vote, would have required the City to stream all City meetings on the internet, allowing the public to engage via written, video, or audio comments. Prop E would have required that those comments be played. Members of the public, commission, committee, or board members would be able to request that pertinent topics be discussed at a certain point in the agenda.
Proposition F (Short-term rentals)—No
Prop F, which was defeated in the recent election, would have restricted short-term rentals, such as those solicited by the multi-billion dollar company, Airbnb.

Prop G, which won with 78% of the vote, will define “renewable, greenhouse-gas free electricity” as “electricity derived exclusively from certain renewable resources located within or adjacent to the California border or electricity derived fro Hetch Hetchy, except for electricity from other types of resources such as rooftop solar and other large hydroelectric facilities.” Prop G also requires CleanPowerSF to tell customers and potential customers how much “renewable, greenhouse-gas free electricity” they will provide and prohibits CleanPowerSF from claiming their electricity is “clean” or “green” unless it meets the parameters of “renewable greenhouse gas-free electricity.”

Prop H won big with 80% of the vote. Similar to Prop G, Prop H will use the definition of “eligible renewable energy resources” when using the terms “clean energy,” “green energy,” and “renewable, Greenhouse- Gas free Energy.” Again, CleanPowerSF will be required to share with customers and potential customers the planned percentage of such energy their services will provide. Finally, Prop H makes it City policy that CleanPowerSF uses electricity generated locally when possible.
Proposition I (Suspension of market-rate development in the Mission)—No
Prop I lost with 43 percent of the vote. Prop I would have temporarily suspended the distribution of permits for certain types of development in the Mission District, giving the neighborhood time to create a Neighborhood Stabilization Plan.
Proposition J (Legacy business bond)—Yes
Prop J will enable the City to establish a Legacy Business Historic Preservation Fund, which will provide legacy businesses and owners who have leased their space for ten years or more with grants.
