: Committee on Streets and 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 allows a newsstand at 43rd Street and Woodland Avenue to install electrical conduits for its power supply. The newsstand owners must obtain necessary permits and enter into an agreement with the city to cover any potential costs or damages.
