Official:Authorizing transfers in appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024 from the Grants Revenue Fund, certain or all City offices, departments, boards and commissions, to the General Fund, certain or all City offices, departments, boards and commissions.
Sponsor: Councilmember O'Neill
Introduced: June 22, 2023
: Committee on Appropriations
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 allows the Director of Finance to transfer $2.5 million from a special fund (Grants Revenue Fund) to the General Fund, which will be used by the Fire Department for personal services.
