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 wine and spirits auction permits.
SB 958 expands eligibility for wine and spirits auction permits under Pennsylvania's Liquor Code, allowing specific qualified nonprofits to host fundraising events. The bill permits hospitals, museums, cancer research organizations, educational institutions, and other designated nonprofits to apply for a permit costing $30 per day, valid for up to four days annually. These permits enable eligible groups to auction wine and spirits without requiring a full liquor license, supporting their fundraising efforts. The bill amends existing liquor regulations to create this new, limited-use authorization for charitable purposes.
