Official:Authorizing the transfer in appropriations for Fiscal Year 2017 within the General Fund, from the Department of Prisons to the Mayor - Office of Housing and Community Development, to support landscaping and lot-cleaning jobs in the Philadelphia Re-Entry Employment Program for Returning Citizens, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: March 31, 2016
: Committee of the Whole
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2016–2019 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 transfers $500,000 in funds from the Department of Prisons to the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development to support jobs for returning citizens through the Philadelphia Re-Entry Employment Program.
