HB 1451 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; in licenses and regulations, liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for wine expanded permits, for ready-to-drink cocktail permit, for revocation and suspension of licenses and fines and for responsible alcohol management; and, in distilleries, wineries, bonded warehouses, bailees for hire and transporters for hire, providing for transporters for hire.

HB 1451 amends Pennsylvania's Liquor Code to establish a new licensing system for individuals and businesses that transport alcohol for hire within the Commonwealth. It requires these "Transporters for Hire" to obtain a specific license and defines their responsibilities. The bill also updates regulations for wine expanded permits and ready-to-drink cocktail permits, allowing these products to be provided to licensed transporters without certain on-premise scanning requirements. Additionally, it mandates specialized responsible alcohol management training for personnel involved in off-premises alcohol delivery and outlines specific fines for transporter-for-hire violations.
