Official:Amending Chapter 9-2800, entitled "Universities, Property Owners or Managers and Students," and Chapter 10-1800, entitled "Vicarious Liability for Student Conduct," both of The Philadelphia Code, by amending the Fifth Councilmanic District into the definition of "Educational Housing District," by adding certain provisions relating to Educational Housing Districts, and other related matters, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: October 9, 2014
: Committee on Licenses and Inspections
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 amends city code to define Educational Housing Districts and require students living in these areas to notify property owners, their college or university, and update them on address changes.
