Official:Authorizing the City of Philadelphia to terminate an agreement by and between the City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Facilities Management Corporation relating to the operation of the Philadelphia Gas Works and establishing the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Philadelphia Gas Commission with respect to the Philadelphia Gas Works.
Sponsor: Councilmember Tasco
Introduced: September 28, 2000
: Committee of the Whole
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2000–2003 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill would allow Philadelphia to cancel a 1972 agreement with a private company that manages the city's gas works and establish new powers for the Philadelphia Gas Commission.
