Official:Amending Chapter 19-200 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "City Funds - Deposits, Investments, Disbursements," by amending Section 19-201, entitled "City Depositories," by removing Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as a City Depository, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: May 9, 2013
: Committee on Finance
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 proposes to remove Wells Fargo Bank as a city depository, which means it would no longer be allowed to hold city funds.
