An Act amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), known as the Liquor Code, in licenses and regulations and liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for Philadelphia 250 permits.
This bill creates a new licensing category called the "Philadelphia 250 Permit" for alcohol establishments in Philadelphia and other municipalities that choose to participate. To qualify, businesses such as restaurants and breweries must pay a $500 fee, complete a specific nighttime safety training program, and have their application details posted online. Local governments have the authority to object to individual permit applications, and the state board can revoke a permit immediately if a business operates outside its approved scope. The legislation establishes these rules within the existing Liquor Code and allows participating cities to adopt ordinances to enable the program.
