Official:Amending Chapter 9-3300 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Erection, Use and Inspection of Tower Cranes," by adding requirements regulating the use and inspection of mobile cranes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Quiñones Sánchez
Introduced: November 19, 2015
: 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 updates the city's regulations on tower cranes to include requirements for mobile cranes used in construction. The new rules cover insurance, signaling, and rigging duties for mobile crane operators.
