Official:Amending Title 22 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Public Employees Retirement Code," by amending Section 22-310, entitled "Deferred Retirement Option Plan," by prohibiting certain elected officials from participating in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan.
Sponsor: Councilmember Nutter
Introduced: March 18, 2004
: Committee on Labor and Civil Service
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 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 prohibits certain elected officials from participating in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP), a program that allows city employees to delay retirement benefits for five years.
