No one voted on this bill

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.

Plain-Language Summary

This bill establishes new parking regulations in four Philadelphia neighborhoods: Carpenter Street between 15th and 16th Streets; Rosewood Street between Tasker and Morris Streets; Catharine Street between 23rd and 24th Streets; and Christian Street between 15th and 16th Streets. These regulations limit parking to two hours, with specific times of day and days of the week for each location.
