Official:Amending Chapter 19-3100, entitled "Attorney Fees in Collection Matters; Retention of Private Attorneys," by giving the office of the Inspector General jurisdiction over delinquent accounts suspected of involving fraud or tax evasion, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: May 24, 2012
: Committee on Law and Government
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 gives the Inspector General's office more power to investigate and collect on delinquent city accounts suspected of involving fraud or tax evasion.
