Range Hood for Gas Cooktop doesn't require Venting?!?

And then the kitchen exhaust needs make up air too....

Where in the code does it state it needs make up air?

M1503.4 Makeup air required. Exhaust hood systems capable
of exhausting in excess of 400 cubic feet per minute (0.19
m3/s) shall be mechanically or naturally provided with
makeup air at a rate approximately equal to the exhaust air
rate.

Regular Kit Hood, no where near 400 CFMs regular infiltration more than enough for incidental use

What is the process to have a clarification with the code officials?

Just a simple phone call OR BETTER suggest they join the Forum ! Now that remark will need a a sense of humor from the Code Official. Just say you didn't knw yourself and the info from forum was pretty simple
