Summary

The bill eliminates the 1936 law that imposed an emergency 18% tax on liquor sold by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and required the Board and Department of Revenue to report and remit the tax. By removing the tax, the measure stops collection of those revenues and changes how liquor prices are set for consumers. It aims to simplify the state’s liquor tax structure and reduce costs for buyers.
