Official:Amending Chapter 19-2600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Business Income and Receipts Taxes," by extending the duration of the Philadelphia Internship Tax Credit, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Jones
Introduced: April 11, 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 extends a tax credit for businesses that hire interns in Philadelphia, allowing them to claim a credit against their business income and receipts tax liability.
