Plain English Statement Re Ballot Question No. 3

As Required By Section 201.1 of the Pennsylvania Election Code

Submitted to the Voters By Bill No. 171109-A (approved March 23, 2018);

Ballot Question:

Shall the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter be amended to provide for mandatory training for all City officers and employees regarding sexual harassment in the workplace?

Statement:

Currently, no law in Philadelphia requires mandatory training for all officers and employees of the City regarding sexual harassment in the workplace. This proposed amendment to the Home Rule Charter would require that the City’s Administrative Board (the Mayor, Managing Director and Director of Finance) make rules requiring that all City officers and employees receive such training not less than once every three years.
