Official:Amending Chapter 9-3300 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Erection, Use and Inspection of Tower Cranes," by re-naming the Chapter to include mobile cranes, by adding provisions regulating the use and inspection of mobile cranes, and by authorizing enforcement of the provisions contained in the Chapter with respect to tower cranes and mobile cranes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: February 9, 2012
: Committee on Licenses and Inspections
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 updates Philadelphia's laws to include regulations on mobile cranes in addition to tower cranes, ensuring public safety and worker protection during construction.
