This communication, placed on file, reports that Mayor Cherelle L.
November 12, 2025 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: I am hereby returning unsigned Bill Number 250773, introduced by Councilmember Mark Squilla, and passed by City Council on October 30, 2025. I support the intent of this bill to reduce the utilization of single-use bags and, thus, further Philadelphia's commitment to environmental sustainability. But I remain concerned with some of the unintended consequences this legislation could have for our local economy and low-income Philadelphians, especially our communities of color. Without protections for low-income residents, such as Philadelphians who use SNAP or WIC benefits to pay for groceries, seniors, and communities of color, this well-intended bill may unintentionally cause harm. For these reasons, I am returning Bill Number 250773 unsigned. Respectfully, Cherelle L. Parker Mayor
