Official:Authorizing the Commissioner of Public Property, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, to accept title to certain real property owned by the School District of Philadelphia and to convey the same to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development, for further conveyance, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: October 10, 2013
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
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 allows the City of Philadelphia to accept ownership of certain properties from the School District of Philadelphia and then transfer them to the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (PAID) for further development or sale.
