: Committee on Appropriations
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 allows for transfers of funds within the city's General Fund to adjust budget allocations for Fiscal Year 2002. Specifically, it allocates $3 million from the Director of Finance's appropriation towards reducing or eliminating transportation costs for school students, with a contingency plan in case an agreement is not reached.
