Philadelphia City Council Committee on Commerce and Economic Development held a public hearing and meeting on Oct. 15 to consider two ordinances: bill 250654 to expand the Economic Opportunity Review Committee (EORC) and bill 250646 to set minimum training standards for security officers. Supporters of the EORC change said it would broaden representation of labor and minority business chambers; witnesses representing trade and minority chambers testified in favor. The security-training bill drew extensive testimony from security officers, unions, employers and trade groups, produced several amendments, and the committee approved an amendment and voted to report the training bill and the EORC bill favorably out of committee with first reading to be scheduled at full council.
