Official:Amending Chapter 20-600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Standards of Conduct and Ethics," to prohibit political committees from soliciting or receiving political contributions on behalf of elected City officials, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Rizzo
Introduced: September 18, 2008
: Committee of the Whole
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 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 proposes to prohibit political committees from soliciting or receiving contributions on behalf of elected City officials under certain conditions.
