Official:Amending Chapter 20-600 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled “Standards of Conduct and Ethics,” including Section 20-607, entitled “Conflict of Interest,” and Section 20-610, entitled “Statement of Financial Interests,” to regulate and restrict the receipt of outside income, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Quiñones Sánchez
Introduced: December 16, 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 aims to regulate and restrict outside income for Philadelphia City Council members and other city officials. It sets a limit on earned income from non-city sources and requires disclosure of financial interests.
