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.
HB 380 amends Pennsylvania's Liquor Code to expand the definition of "eligible entity" for obtaining liquor licenses. It adds specific nonprofit organizations, historical groups, museums, community associations, and specialized clubs (like those focused on cystic fibrosis research, watershed conservation, or equine therapy) to the list of qualifying entities. The bill directly affects these organizations by allowing them to apply for liquor licenses under the revised definition, provided they meet criteria such as being a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating for 10+ years or having a specific community purpose. This change modifies the Liquor Code's preliminary provisions to broaden access to liquor licensing for certain community-serving nonprofits.
