Official:Amending Chapter 20-300 of The Philadelphia Code (“Compensation and Benefits”) to provide for a program to incentivize the recruitment of certain City employees and to make other technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Green
Introduced: March 31, 2022
: 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 proposes a program to incentivize recruitment of police officers and make technical changes to the city's compensation policy. The program would offer up to $10,000 in bonuses for new police cadets, as well as bonuses for referring individuals for employment.
