Official:Amending Chapter 18-200 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Airports," by providing that leases for certain concessions at Philadelphia International Airport shall include a provision requiring the lessee to exempt subtenants, that provide compensation to employees in accordance with the Philadelphia 21st Century Minimum Wage and Benefits Standard, from the requirement to use street pricing and by making technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: March 21, 2013
: Committee on Commerce & Economic Development
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 requires lease agreements for concessions at Philadelphia International Airport to exempt subtenants who pay employees according to the city's minimum wage and benefits standard from a requirement to set prices equal to street prices.
