TO: ALL REPRESENTATIVES FROM: MARIO SCAVALLO SUBJECT: Co-sponsorship of Amendment to Liquor Code for Festivals and Farm Markets DATE: January 15, 2013 Please find attached legislation that I plan to introduce in the near future to amend the Liquor Code. My legislation would create two new permits to be utilized by breweries licensed by the PLCB. The first permit is a special permit to participate in wine and food festivals in the Commonwealth. This permit will allow the holder to sell by the glass, bottle or package malt and brewed beverages manufactured by the permittee. The permit may be obtained for no more than one hundred days per calendar year and may not be used for more than thirty consecutive days. The second permit is a farmer’s market permit which will enable the permittee to sell malt and brewed beverages he manufactured at farmer’s markets throughout the Commonwealth. The permittee may not sell more than one hundred forty-four fluid ounces in a single sale to one individual. Farmer’s markets are defined in the legislation as any building, structure or other place used by two or more farmers, certified by the Department of Agriculture to participate in the Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program, for the purpose of selling agricultural commodities produced in the Commonwealth directly to consumers. If you wish to co-sponsor my legislation, please contact Rebecca Borbidge at 717-787-7732. Legislation attached
