HB 1455 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), known as the Liquor Code, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; and, in licenses and regulations relating to liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for applications for hotel, restaurant and club liquor licenses, for issuance, transfer or extension of hotel, restaurant and club liquor licenses, for license fees, for sale of malt or brewed beverages by liquor licensees and for malt and brewed beverages manufacturers', distributors' and importing distributors' licenses.

HB 1455 amends Pennsylvania's Liquor Code to allow "convenience stores," defined as businesses selling gasoline and everyday items, to apply for liquor licenses. The bill integrates convenience stores into the existing framework for hotel, restaurant, and club liquor licenses. This means convenience stores would follow similar application processes, fee structures, and rules regarding the issuance, transfer, or extension of licenses, including proximity restrictions to certain institutions or other licensed premises. It also outlines requirements for physical alterations and surcharges for certain license transfers.
