An Act amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), known as the Liquor Code, providing for adult use cannabis; imposing certain gross receipts tax and excise tax; and making repeals.
HB 1773 amends Pennsylvania's Liquor Code to legalize adult recreational cannabis use for individuals aged 21 and older. The bill establishes a regulatory framework for cannabis businesses, including licensing requirements, and imposes two specific taxes: a gross receipts tax on all cannabis sales and an excise tax on cannabis products. It also repeals outdated provisions in the existing Liquor Code that conflict with this new system. The bill is currently under review by the Health committee.
