Official:Amending Chapter 9-1004 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Contractors,” to amend standards for contractor licenses related to insurance; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Quiñones Sánchez
Introduced: January 28, 2021
: Committee on Licenses and Inspections
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 updates the standards for contractor licenses in Philadelphia to require a minimum level of insurance coverage.
