Amending Title 2 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "City-County Consolidation," to require the City Commissioners to provide certain election-related training, under certain terms and conditions.

AI summary

This lapsed bill would have required the City Commissioners to offer training four times a year for candidates, prospective candidates, and political committee representatives. The training would have covered financial disclosure requirements for candidates for City office under Pennsylvania’s Public Official and Employee Ethics Act, and the bill would have taken effect only after a related change to the Home Rule Charter.
