This bill amends the Pennsylvania Liquor Code, specifically focusing on the sales processes of Pennsylvania Liquor Stores. It allows these stores to sell liquors, including wine and ready-to-drink cocktails, at wholesale prices to various licensed entities such as hotels, restaurants, and hospitals. A significant change is the introduction of a discount card for licensees, which identifies them as authorized purchasers of liquor at wholesale prices. Additionally, the bill stipulates that payment for wholesale purchases can be made not only by cash, check, or credit card but also, in accordance with board regulations, within thirty days of the sale.
Furthermore, the bill modifies the payment process for deliveries to retail licensees and permit holders. It removes the requirement that payment must be made by credit card or electronic fund transfer only at the time of delivery, allowing for payment to be made within thirty days of delivery instead. This change aims to provide more flexibility for licensees in managing their payments. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
