Official:Amending Title 19 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Finance, Taxes and Collections,” Chapter 19-1300, entitled “Real Estate Taxes,” by adding a new Section 19-1310, entitled “Providing for a Tax Credit for Lead Paint and Other Hazards Remediation;” all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Oh
Introduced: September 26, 2019
: Committee on Finance
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 creates a tax credit for landlords who pay to remove lead paint and other hazards from their properties.
