Official:Adding a Section 19-101 to The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Adequate and Modern Accounting System," by providing a requirement for an adequate and modern accounting system for the City government and a requirement that material weaknesses and significant deficiencies reported by the City Controller be addressed; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Oh
Introduced: June 21, 2018
: Committee on Law and Government
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 requires the City of Philadelphia to establish and maintain a modern accounting system to ensure accurate financial reporting and address material weaknesses in the current system.
