Official:Amending Chapter 20-600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Standards of Conduct and Ethics,” by amending Section 20-608, entitled “Public Disclosure and Disqualification,” to add or modify provisions related to disclosure of financial interest, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: December 2, 2021
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 amends the City of Philadelphia's ethics code to require city officials and employees to disclose their financial interests in legislation and disqualify themselves from participating in decisions related to those interests.
