Official:Amending Title 12 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Traffic Code," by explicitly prohibiting overtime parking in permit parking districts and establishing new penalties for such violations; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: June 22, 2017
: Committee on Streets and Services
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 makes it illegal to park in a permit parking district without a valid permit beyond the allowed time limit, and increases penalties for violating this rule.
