SB 960 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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 authority to issue liquor licenses to hotels, restaurants and clubs, for sales by liquor licensees and restrictions, for sale of malt or brewed beverages by liquor licensees, for retail dispensers' restrictions on purchases and sales, for unlawful acts relative to malt or brewed beverages and licensees and for premises to be vacated by patrons.

SB 960 amends Pennsylvania's Liquor Code to clarify rules for hotels, restaurants, and clubs holding liquor licenses. It allows these businesses to sell malt or brewed beverages off-premises in quantities up to 192 fluid ounces per sale, while prohibiting clubs from selling such beverages for off-premises consumption between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. The bill also restricts certain officials - including police officers, sheriffs, and judges - with arrest or sentencing authority from owning liquor licenses. These changes directly affect licensed establishments and ensure consistent sales hour regulations across different venue types.
