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 licenses and regulations and liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for wine and spirits auction permits.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Liquor Code to expand the types of organizations eligible to obtain wine and spirits auction permits. The bill adds two new categories of organizations that can apply for these permits: (1) private academic schools licensed with the Department of Education, and (2) nonpublic, nonlicensed schools registered with the Department of Education. Additionally, the bill modifies the language related to nonprofit organizations, changing the reference from a specific section of the Internal Revenue Code to a broader reference to 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3). The permit allows these organizations to hold wine and spirits auctions for fundraising purposes, with a fee of $30 per day and a limit of four total days per calendar year. This change provides more nonprofit and educational institutions the opportunity to raise funds through wine and spirits auctions, potentially supporting various charitable, educational, and community-based organizations. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
