Official:Amending Title 22 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "City of Philadelphia Public Employees Retirement Code," by amending Chapter 22-1300 entitled "Miscellaneous," by providing that upon authorization of a member, the Director of Finance may pay sums from that member's benefits to long term health care organizations, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Blackwell
Introduced: February 21, 2002
: Committee on Finance
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 Philadelphia public employees to direct their retirement benefits to long-term healthcare organizations if they choose to do so.
