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 authorizes a comprehensive loan program to help homeowners and small businesses in Philadelphia make energy-efficient improvements to their properties, with funding provided through bonds issued by the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development.
