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 amends the Pennsylvania Liquor Code to increase the wholesale discount for licensed establishments (such as hotels, restaurants, clubs, and transportation companies) from 10% to 15% when purchasing liquors, wine, and ready-to-drink cocktails from Pennsylvania Liquor Stores. The bill maintains existing provisions allowing the Liquor Control Board to sell to specific entities like pharmacists, hospitals, and U.S. Armed Forces facilities under certain conditions. It also preserves the board's ability to offer incentives to non-licensed customers and allows wholesale licensees to purchase liquor at any Pennsylvania Liquor Store with a discount card. Additionally, the bill maintains the board's authority to establish delivery and pickup discount programs for wholesale licensees, with the flexibility to set parameters such as discount amounts and minimum purchase requirements. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its enactment, providing a standard transition period for implementation.
