Official:Amending Chapter 12-2900 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Contractor Parking," by renaming said Chapter "Special Purpose Parking"; and by providing for parking permits for specified purposes in addition to contractor parking, including, but not limited to, home health care and real estate agent services; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: November 17, 2011
: Committee on Streets and Services
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 renames and expands a section of Philadelphia's parking code to allow for special purpose parking permits for services like home health care and real estate agent work.
