An Act amending the act of December 17, 1968 (P.L.1224, No.387), known as the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, providing for bottled water prices at entertainment venues.
This bill establishes price caps for bottled water sold at entertainment venues in Pennsylvania that require a ticket for entry. Starting in 2025, the law limits prices based on bottle size, ranging from $2 for 16 ounces or less to $4 for 24 ounces or more. The prices are set to automatically adjust every five years based on regional inflation data, and venues that violate these limits face fines of up to 10% of the event's total ticket sales.
