Bill Summary
Amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), entitled "An act relating to alcoholic liquors, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto; regulating and restricting the manufacture, purchase, sale, possession, consumption, importation, transportation, furnishing, holding in bond, holding in storage, traffic in and use of alcoholic liquors, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages and the persons engaged or employed therein; defining the powers and duties of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board; providing for the establishment and operation of State liquor stores, for the payment of certain license fees to the respective municipalities and townships, for the abatement of certain nuisances and, in certain cases, for search and seizure without warrant; prescribing penalties and forfeitures; providing for local option, and repealing existing laws," in Pennsylvania Liquor Stores, further providing for sales by Pennsylvania Liquor Stores.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the Pennsylvania Liquor Code to adjust sales and payment provisions for liquor stores. Specifically, the bill allows licensed buyers (such as hotels, restaurants, clubs, and distributors) to purchase liquor at wholesale prices and pay within 30 days of the sale, instead of requiring immediate payment. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is authorized to issue discount cards to licensees and establish delivery programs, including potential discounts for licensees who pick up their purchases at board-specified locations. The bill also allows more flexible payment methods for delivery of liquor to retail licensees and permit holders, permitting payment by credit card or electronic fund transfer either at the time of delivery or within 30 days according to board regulations. These changes aim to provide more convenience and flexibility for liquor licensees in their purchasing and payment processes. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
