Official:Amending Section 20-606 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Board of Ethics," to give the Board of Ethics the duty to provide training regarding the financial disclosure requirements applicable to candidates for office contained in the State Ethics Act, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Campbell
Introduced: April 12, 2007
Voted: June 7, 2007
: 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 requires the Board of Ethics to provide training four times a year for candidates and their representatives on financial disclosure requirements for city office.
