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 licenses and regulations and liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for unlawful acts relative to liquor, malt and brewed beverages and licensees.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Liquor Code to modify regulations regarding the employment of minors by distributors and importing distributors of malt and brewed beverages. Specifically, the bill prohibits distributors from employing individuals under the age of sixteen, allows persons between sixteen and eighteen to work within licensed premises but not sell beverages, and permits individuals aged eighteen and over to sell and deliver malt and brewed beverages. The change references the Child Labor Act and aims to clarify age-based employment restrictions in the alcohol distribution industry. The legislation will go into effect 60 days after its passage, providing time for businesses to adjust to the new employment guidelines. The amendment seeks to balance workplace opportunities for younger workers with safety considerations in alcohol-related businesses by establishing clear age-specific employment limitations.
