Official:Authorizing transfers in appropriations for Fiscal Year 2020 from the Grants Revenue Fund, the Director of Finance - Provision for Other Grants to the General Fund, the Managing Director.
Sponsor: Councilmember Johnson
Introduced: September 19, 2019
: Committee on Appropriations
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 allows for $10 million to be transferred from a special grants fund to support violence-prevention initiatives in Philadelphia, with $2 million going towards personal services and $8 million for purchasing services under the Managing Director's office.
