Official:Enacting a new Section 10-1611 of Chapter 10-1600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Discontinuance of Proceedings," to provide for the discontinuance of proceedings before the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Krajewski
Introduced: April 25, 2003
: Committee on Licenses and Inspections
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 the discontinuance of certain parking and code enforcement tickets if they were issued in error or not warranted.
