The facilities and resources of the Authority shall not be used to provide any contribution, whether direct or indirect, cash or in-kind, to any political party, political committee, candidate, or constituent services program.
The facilities and resources of the Authority shall not be used for any event (other than a convention event) of which a political party, political committee, candidate or constituent services program is the host, organizer, or beneficiary, unless the rate to be paid for the event is at least equal to the rate paid by for-profit clients for comparable events, but in no event less than the cost to the Authority for holding the event.
The terms "political party", "political committee", "candidate", and "constituent services program" as used in this section shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the election laws of the District of Columbia at D.C. Official Code §§ 1-1101et seq. and 1-1104 et seq.
Except as prohibited by Sections 405.1 and 405.2 of this chapter, the facilities and resources of the Authority may be used to provide direct or indirect support for community-related non-profit events, whether charitable or governmental.
Before the Authority provides support for any community-related non-profit event pursuant to Section 405.4, the President and Chief Executive Officer or designee shall determine in writing that the amount and terms of such support further the mission of the Authority, for example, by enhancing its ability to attract convention event, sports, entertainment and special event bookings or by promoting essential community relations.
Except as prohibited by Sections 405.1 and 405.2, the resources of the Authority may be used to purchase tickets to community-related events and other events at the Authority's venues for distribution at less than the Authority's purchase price to public officials or other persons who do business with the Authority.
Before the Authority purchases or distributes tickets pursuant to Section 405.6, the General Counsel shall determine in writing that such purchase or distribution does not violate the laws of the United States or the District of Columbia.
