Amending Title 17 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Contracts and Procurement," by requiring the City to pay its vendors promptly, all under certain terms and conditions.

AI summary

The lapsed bill would have amended Philadelphia’s contracts and procurement rules to require the City to pay vendors within a specified prompt-payment period. That period generally could not exceed 15 days after a properly submitted invoice, or 30 days when the City reasonably needed more time to confirm that goods or services were properly provided.
