🎉 A meaningful win for Pennsylvania’s hospitality community. 🍻
Proud of the work our team at ERG Partners did alongside the Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage Association to help resolve a long-standing liquor code issue impacting taverns and restaurants across the Commonwealth.
This outcome reflects months of collaboration, persistence, and partnership. A special thank you to Rep. Dan Deasy for his leadership and to the legislators and staff who worked through the details to get this done the right way.
At ERG, we believe in showing up, staying engaged, and seeing issues through to completion — especially when small businesses and local communities are counting on it. Grateful to work with clients who are committed to progress and results.
Great news! A PLBTA-led initiative is heading to the governor's office after the State House concurred with Senate amendments, 199-4. This bill fixes a glitch with off-premise catering permit. It will be the only liquor bill this year to reach the finish line. It was the first liquor bill to move this year out of the House Liquor Control Committee and Senate Law & Justice Committee.
Congrats to the PLBTA Membership, TavernPAC Membership, PLBTA Board of Directors, and our lobbying team at ERG Partners for great teamwork and excellent work at the state capital.
Members ... we just issued an "On The Fly ..." Alert giving you more on this. In our Monthly Update later this month, ERG Partners will provide more of the inside baseball that led to the bill's success.
