Full Bill
Whereas, on January 27, 2022 Bill No. 220051 (the “Bill”) was introduced and proposed, in part, amending the definition of “employer” in subsection (1)(a) of Section 9-4116 of The Philadelphia Code, to regulate all employers in Philadelphia who employ ten (10) or more employees; and
Whereas, the Bill was amended on subsequent occasions in numerous respects, and it was Council’s intent to modify the definition of employer to regulate those employers who employ twenty-five (25) or more employees; and
Whereas, errors in signaling changes being made to the Code both in the original Bill, with respect to the definition of the term “employee;” and in an amendment to the Bill, with respect to the definition of “employer,” did not properly reflect additions and deletions being proposed to the Code consistent with Section 1-105 of the Code or the explanations provided on the Bill and amendment, respectively; and
Whereas, it is Council’s desire to correct these errors; and now, therefore,
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA HEREBY ORDAINS:
