This bill amends the Pennsylvania Liquor Code, specifically Section 305(b), to update the discount rate for sales by Pennsylvania Liquor Stores to licensed entities. The current discount of ten percent for wholesale purchases is increased to fifteen percent. However, special order sales to licensees will not be subject to this new discount rate. The bill also clarifies that sales to registered pharmacists will only include liquors that meet specific pharmacopoeia standards and allows the board to offer special pricing to United States Armed Forces facilities.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to issue discount cards to licensees, enabling them to purchase liquor at wholesale prices. It allows for the possibility of discounts for wholesale licensees who pick up their purchases at designated locations, including the board's warehouse. The board is granted the authority to set parameters for these discounts, including the amount and minimum purchase requirements. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
