Official:Amending Title 22 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Public Employees Retirement Code," by amending various provisions to provide for provisions for participants performing qualified military service, to allow certain transfer payments for purchase of service and for purchase of service by certain classes of employees, to allow for non-spouse beneficiary rollover rights, to provide certain retroactive effective dates, and otherwise provide language required by the Internal Revenue Code, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Kenney
Introduced: December 11, 2014
: Committee on Labor and Civil Service
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 Philadelphia's Public Employees Retirement Code to provide benefits for city employees who serve in the military, allow certain payment transfers, and give non-spouse beneficiaries more options for their retirement accounts.
