Records of the PENNSYLVANIA LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board was created in November 1933, in anticipation
of the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The Board was directed to set up and operate a system of state-operated stores
to be the only outlets for the sale of wine and spirits in their original packages.
It was also given authority to license hotels, restaurants and clubs for the
sale of wine and liquor by the drink. The Board was also charged with the enforcement
of laws and regulations governing the entire traffic of alcoholic beverages
throughout the Commonwealth. In addition to carrying out these activities, the
Board also runs a comprehensive education program to provide information on
alcohol and its effects. The passage of Act 14 in 1987 resulted in numerous
operational changes at the Board, including the transfer of its liquor law enforcement
powers to the State Police.
