AI Summary

  • Amends the Pennsylvania Liquor Code to significantly expand the definition of "eligible entity" for special occasion permits, consolidating and simplifying the list to include any nonprofit organization defined under 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3) or (6), rather than enumerating dozens of specific organization types.

  • Creates a new exception for "end-of-life memorial events" that reduces the notice requirement for off-premises catering permits to just 24 hours before the event, instead of the standard 7-14 day advance notice requirements.

  • Defines "end-of-life memorial event" as a gathering where guests honor a person who died within the previous seven days.

  • Applies the reduced notice period for memorial events to hotel/restaurant liquor licensees, retail dispensers with eating place licenses, and brew pub license holders with off-premises catering permits.

  • Takes effect 60 days after enactment.
