Official:Authorizing the Procurement Department, on behalf of the City of Philadelphia, to enter into one or more agreements with a vendor or vendors for the purchase and servicing of online legal research services, investigative tools, and related goods and services, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Henon
Introduced: November 14, 2019
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
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 authorizes the City of Philadelphia to enter into agreements with vendors for online legal research services and investigative tools. The contracts will last from April 2020 to March 2023 and are estimated to cost around $5 million.
