Official:Amending Section 13-101 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Fixing and Regulating Rates and Charges,” to modify the remedies and enforcement provisions, and make technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Parker
Introduced: May 6, 2021
: Committee on Labor and Civil Service
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 modifies how the city regulates 'charity water rates and charges' for public institutions like schools and churches. If these institutions don't follow labor laws, they may face penalties or loss of benefits.
