This bill repeals a previous bill that proposed an amendment to the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter, which would have allowed City officers and employees to run for public office without resigning from their City position. The repealed bill had directed City officers to prepare for a special election on this proposed charter amendment. This new bill affects City officers and employees who might consider running for public office.
To repeal in its entirety Bill No. 241056 (approved March 10, 2026), entitled "An Ordinance Providing for the submission to the qualified electors of the City of Philadelphia of the proposal set forth in a Resolution approved by Council proposing an amendment to the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter to eliminate the requirement that City officers and employees resign from their City office or employment before becoming candidates for public office; and authorizing the appropriate officers to publish notice and to make arrangements for the special election;" and to rescind the direction provided to various City officers set forth therein.
