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 requires parks and playgrounds within a half-mile of Philadelphia Pre-K providers to meet specific construction standards.
