Official:Amending Section 9-637 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Opioid Antidote Availability,” to revise certain provisions relating to the form of naloxone available and technical changes to the penalties for not complying with provisions of this law, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Henon
Introduced: January 24, 2019
: Committee on Public Health and Human 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 updates Philadelphia's Opioid Antidote Availability law to clarify what types of naloxone are required for pharmacies to stock and how they can demonstrate compliance.
