Official:Amending Chapter 10-800 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Safety," by adding a new Section prohibiting the ownership, use, possession or sale within the City of Philadelphia of any motor vehicle that uses tinted glass, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Verna
Introduced: December 7, 2000
: Committee on Public Safety
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 ban tinted glass on vehicles in Philadelphia, except for a small portion of the windshield and certain existing vehicles.
