No one voted on this bill

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.

Plain-Language Summary

This bill allows the Director of Finance to transfer $480,800 from the Grants Revenue Fund to the General Fund, specifically to support the Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT Philly). This will increase funding for ACCT Philly's operations.
