Official:Amending Title 22 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Public Employees Retirement Code," by amending Section 22-310, entitled "Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP)," by making certain changes to the DROP plan, including making elected officials ineligible to participate in the DROP; and providing for an annual report concerning the DROP; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: March 19, 2009
: Committee on Finance
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 amends the City's retirement plan (DROP) to make elected officials ineligible to participate and requires an annual report on the program's effectiveness.
