Official:Amending Chapter 20-600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Standards of Conduct and Ethics," to restate and revise conflict of interest prohibitions and related provisions and provisions pertaining to public disclosure of conflicts of interest, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Henon
Introduced: May 19, 2016
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 updates Philadelphia's 'Standards of Conduct and Ethics' chapter to clarify conflict-of-interest rules for city officials and employees. It aims to prevent them from taking actions that benefit themselves or their family members financially.
