Official:Amending subsection 19-2604(6) of The Philadelphia Code, under which businesses that enter into agreements to make contributions to community development corporations receive business privilege tax credits, by enacting a temporary moratorium on new contribution agreements under that subsection until Council enacts legislation modifying the terms and conditions of the tax credit, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Goode
Introduced: March 3, 2011
: Committee on Commerce & Economic Development
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 puts a temporary hold on new agreements between businesses and community development corporations to make tax credits available under certain conditions.
