Official:Amending Chapter 20-600 of The Philadelphia Code (“Standards of Conduct and Ethics”) to amend definitions, further address conflict of interest and related rules, and revise disqualification and notification rules, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Green
Introduced: January 27, 2022
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 strengthen ethics rules for City officials by clarifying definitions of financial interests and conflict of interest, and requiring more detailed reporting on income.
