In a historic vote, Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives passed HB 790 on March 21, marking the first time since the repeal of prohibition that legislation aimed at the privatization of wine and liquor sales has made its way through the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
While the topic of alcohol privatization has received renewed political traction with Governor Tom Corbett’s announcement that he would fulfill a campaign promise to move the state out of the wine and liquor business, HB 790 represents the first detailed account of what such a plan might entail. As drafted, HB 790 provides a sweeping overhaul of the current distribution of alcohol within Pennsylvania with a focus on moving the state toward a more integrated system of liquor, wine and beer sales.
