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 requires organizations receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from Philadelphia to enter into a contract with the city before receiving the funds. The contract must include provisions for conflict of interest policies and reporting.
