Official:Amending Bill No. 877 authorizing the establishment of the Philadelphia Activities Fund (PAF), by allowing At-Large Councilmembers to bring recreational assistance activities and programs to the PAF Board of Directors for funding consideration, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Oh
Introduced: January 19, 2023
: Committee on Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs
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 expands a program to fund recreation activities and programs across Philadelphia by allowing At-Large Councilmembers to bring proposals to the PAF Board for funding consideration.
