: 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 Commissioner of Public Property to sell a small piece of land at 147 Gay Street to PAID (Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development) for further development into single-family homes.
