Official:Amending Title 20 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Officers and Employees," by adding a new provision relating to campaign contributions and expenditures, relating to, including but not limited to, the Mayor, District Attorney, City Controller, Register of Wills, Sheriff, Clerk of Quarter Sessions Court, City Commissioner, and City Council.
Sponsor: Councilmember Tasco
Introduced: November 17, 2005
: Committee on Law and Government
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 amends the city's code to regulate campaign contributions and expenditures by candidates for various elected positions in Philadelphia.
