Official:Amending Bill No. 200352, entitled “An Ordinance amending Chapter 11-100 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled ‘General Provisions,’ to authorize the Streets Department to permit closure of the public right-of-way,” during the COVID-19 emergency as amended by Bill No. 200498, to further extend the date Bill No. 200352 will remain in effect, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: October 7, 2021
: Committee on Streets and Services
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 the date that certain temporary measures for public right-of-way closures remain in effect during the COVID-19 emergency from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
