Official:Amending Section 6-301 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Food Establishments," by providing additional measures by which the City shall use to insure that food establishments operating in the City are safe and healthy; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Tasco
Introduced: June 15, 2006
: Committee on Public Health and Human Services
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 requires food establishments in Philadelphia to conduct self-inspections every three months and submit them to the Department of Public Health. They must also post the most recent inspection results in a public area. The goal is to ensure food safety and health in the city.
