Official:Amending Chapter 9-4100 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Promoting Healthy Families and Workplaces,” to revise provisions concerning leave time for public health emergencies, and make technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Brooks
Introduced: December 10, 2020
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2020–2023 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 extends a provision that allows employees to take paid leave during public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and pushes back the sunset date from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2021.
