Official:Amending Title 21 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Miscellaneous," to authorize and regulate the placement of advertising on school buses owned or controlled by the School District of Philadelphia, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Reynolds Brown
Introduced: February 2, 2012
: Committee on Education
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 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 allows the School District of Philadelphia to place advertising on school buses and outlines rules for what types of ads are allowed.
