   Full Time

   Employment of Criminal

 (a)  A license to manufacture, transport or sell liquor, malt or brewed beverages and alcohol, is a personal privilege to be exercised only by the individual to whom the license is issued. The operation of a licensed business generally requires the full-time attention of the licensee.

 (b)  An individual holding a Distributor or Importing Distributor License may not be employed in other work, or, as provided in section 492(12) of the Liquor Code (47 P. S. §  4-492(12)), engage in another business, on or off the licensed premises, without Board approval. If the license is issued in the name of a partnership, the Board may permit the partners, except one, to have outside employment. The partnership shall first secure written permission from the Board before its members may be employed in an occupation or enterprise other than the licensed business.

 (a)  The operation of a licensed business requires a manager. A licensee shall appoint an individual as manager for each licensed establishment. The manager shall devote full time and attention to the licensed business.

 (b)  An individual licensee holding multiple licenses may designate himself as manager of only one licensed establishment. If a license is held by more than one individual, the manager may be one of the individuals or another person the licensee may designate.

 (c)  The manager appointed by a licensee shall be a reputable person. The licensee shall notify the Board in writing of the name and home address of the manager and the date and place of birth. If there is a change of manager, the licensee shall give the Board written notice within 15 days of the change together with full information for the new individual who is appointed as manager. Each notice of the appointment of a manager or notice of a change of manager shall be accompanied by the appropriate fee.

 (d)  When a background investigation is conducted to obtain or verify information regarding an individual appointed as manager, a total fee of $135 will be assessed. An individual may not act in the capacity of manager after the licensee has been notified that the individual has been disapproved by the Board. The designated manager shall devote full time to the licensed business and may not be employed or engaged in another business unless prior written approval is obtained from the Board. If the designated manager is currently a Board-approved officer, member, partner or shareholder of that licensee, a fee of $60 will be assessed.

 (e)  Appointment or approval, or both, by the Board of a manager will not exempt the licensee from the penalties provided by law and this title for violations committed in the licensed establishment or in the course of the operation of the licensed business.

 (f)  The Board may rescind the approval of an appointment of a manager at any time for any cause which it deems sufficient.

 (g)  In the event of the illness or extended vacation of a licensee, the Board may approve the appointment of a manager for a period not to exceed 30 days. In case of emergency, the approval may be extended upon written request of the licensee.

 (h)  The licensee, without Board approval, may designate one of its employees as the person in charge of the business for a period of time not to exceed 15 calendar days, when the manager is absent from the licensed premises.

 (i)  A club manager or steward may engage in employment outside his duties as manager or steward except as provided in section 493(11) of the Liquor Code (47 P. S. §  4-493(11)).

 (j)  If approved by the Board, management contracts may permit the manager for the licensed premises to be employed by the management company; however, licensee shall have unfettered discretion in all aspects of management of the licensed business, including the employment of the manager and sales of food, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. Licensee’s discretion includes control of the manager’s hiring, firing, discipline, salary and duties. The manager is an agent of the licensee.

   The provisions of this §  5.23 amended under section 207(i) of the Liquor Code (47 P. S. §  2-207(i)).

   The provisions of this §  5.23 adopted June 26, 1952; amended through March 17, 1972, 2 Pa.B. 457; amended June 18, 1982, effective July 1, 1982, 12 Pa.B. 1860; amended August 29, 1997, effective August 30, 1997, 27 Pa.B. 4432; amended November 12, 2004, effective November 13, 2004, 34 Pa.B. 6139; amended May 16, 2008, effective May 17, 2008, 38 Pa.B. 2250. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (308168) to (308170).

   It is not an abuse of the discretion of the Board to deny an application to appoint a new manager, when the proposed new manager had been arrested nine times for misdemeanors in a six-year period and had been convicted twice. In re Irene’s Cafe, Inc., 404 A.2d 707 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1979).

   Manager

   Where ‘‘friends’’ were given the authority and the responsibility to oversee and direct operations at the licensed premises, they were acting as its ‘‘managers.’’ In re Moeroe Corp., 64 Pa. D. & C.2d 499 (1974).

   (2)  An application for an amusement permit may be filed with the Board at any time during the license period. Amusement permits expire with the license. Amusement permits may be extended at license validation unless the permit is revoked or subject to suspension.

   (3)  An amusement permit may be denied to a licensee against whom revocation or criminal proceedings are pending or to a licensee who, in the Board’s opinion, has failed to conduct the licensed premises in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth. A licensee denied an amusement permit may appeal the decision of the Board by requesting a hearing before the Board within 20 days of notice of denial.

   (4)  An amusement permit may not be assigned.

   (3)  The action of the Office of Administrative Law Judge in suspending or revoking an amusement permit is final. A new amusement permit will not be approved until the expiration of 1 year from the date of revocation.

 (c)  Revocation/suspension of a permit. If the liquor or malt or brewed beverage license is revoked or suspended, for whatever reason, the amusement permit of the licensee will be similarly automatically revoked or suspended. There will be no refund made nor credit given for the unused portion of the fee paid for the permit, upon suspension or revocation.

   The provisions of this §  5.32 adopted June 26, 1952; amended April 2, 1976, effective April 3, 1976, 6 Pa.B. 832; amended November 1, 1985, effective November 2, 1985, 15 Pa.B. 3935; amended May 8, 1992, effective May 9, 1992, 22 Pa.B. 2450; amended May 10, 1996, effective May 11, 1996, 26 Pa.B. 2209; amended November 12, 2004, effective November 13, 2004, 34 Pa.B. 6139. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (274494) and (234079) to (234082).

   Appeals

   The authority of the Liquor Control Board to refuse renewal of an amusement permit is inherently provided by 47 P. S. §  4-470. Therefore, an appeal from the denial of an amusement permit was an appeal pursuant to the Liquor Code and section 933 of the Judicial Code mandated that jurisdiction laid with the court of common pleas. Teazers, Inc. v. Liquor Control Board, 661 A.2d 455 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1995).

   In light of amendments to Liquor Code, the scope of review in enforcement proceedings involving suspensions and fines when liquor licensee was cited for permitting male stripper to come into contact with and/or associate with patrons continued to be de novo which was the same as in appeals from refusals to grant licenses. State Police v. Cantina Gloria’s Lounge, Inc., 639 A.2d 14 (Pa. 1994).

   Construction with Constitution/Property Rights

   Tournament operator failed to state cause of action where complaint challenged constitutionality of prohibition of tournaments in establishments licensed by Liquor Control Board. Operator did not own liquor license; thus loss of opportunity for business income tied to a liquor license was not compensable absent property taken for public use. Horan v. Commonwealth, 526 A.2d 458 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1987).

   Evidence

   The Liquor Control Board need not prove actual knowledge by the licensee that an employe or agent was violating this section and the circumstantial evidence was that licensee organized the dancer’s activity who were found to be licensee agents. Hospitality Investments of Society Hill, Inc. v. Commonwealth, 551 A.2d 341 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1988).

   Evidence/Sufficient

   Graphic testimony by an enforcement officer that the officer observed a scantily-clad ‘‘go-go’’ dancer perform in the bar area of a restaurant, where the dancer conversed with various patrons and, after placing her leg onto the bar, allowed said patrons to place money into her ‘‘G-string’’ was sufficient to support the conclusion that the licensee had violated subsection (d). In re Alray Corp., 456 A.2d 1167 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1983).

   Evidence/Insufficient

   A Liquor Control Board fine for operating a licensed premise in a noisy and disorderly fashion must be based on a showing of noisy and disorderly operation on a routine basis and was not supported by evidence of a single incident of noisy operation coupled with testimony by a liquor control agent describing noisy operation on a second occasion but not indicating whether the noise could be heard outside of the premises in violation of subsection (a). Matter of Banks, 429 A.2d 1279 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1981).

   Gambling Devices Prohibited

   Advertising discount coupons which, in addition to product discounts, contained a rub-off section offering the chance to win cash prizes were a subterfuge for gambling, and therefore, coupons constituted ‘‘gambling devices’’ prohibited in licensed establishments pursuant to Liquor Control Board regulations. Lindey v. Pennsylvania State Police, 916 A.2d 703, 706 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2006).

   Prohibited Activities

   The Liquor Control Board regulation prohibiting use of loudspeaker whereby sound of entertainment could be heard outside premises, subsection (a), was reasonable and consistent with legislative intent of Liquor Code. Appeal of Two-O-Two Tavern, Inc., Friendly Saloon, 492 A.2d 502 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1985).

   Even though the licensee took affirmative action in the nature of signs and announcements to prohibit dancers from contacting patrons, it nevertheless violated this section, since the licensee was responsible for the acts of its servants and agents. In re New Look Lounge, Inc., 459 A.2d 68 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1983).

   The restriction purported to limit the sound of music to the inside of licensed premises thus protecting neighbors, street pedestrians, and others from being subject to unwanted sounds or ‘‘noise pollution’’; the regulation was reasonable and, thus, a valid exercise of the police power. Smart, Inc. v. Liquor Control Board, 70 Pa. D. & C.2d 535 (1974).

   Regulation Unconstitutional

   Operator of club that features semi-nude dancing challenged a Pennsylvania Liquor Code statute and regulation that prohibit ‘‘lewd’’ entertainment at any establishment holding a liquor license; statute and regulation were facially invalid because they are substantially overbroad, in violation of First Amendment protection of expression in that the prohibition applied not only to adult entertainment venues offering nude or topless dancing for which government interest was applicable, but to artistic, theatrical and other nonadult entertainment venues for which such government interest was not applicable. 47 P. S. §  4-493(10) and 40 Pa. Code §  5.32(b) held unconstitutional. Conchatta Inc. v Miller, 458 F.3d 258, 266 (3rd Cir. 2006).

 (a)  A municipality that desires exemption from the Board’s regulation regarding amplified music being heard off the licensed premises, §  5.32 (relating to restrictions/exceptions), shall, under section 493.1(b) of the Liquor Code (47 P. S. §  4-493.1(b)), file a petition with the Board, requesting approval. With its petition, the municipality shall file the following:

   (1)  A copy of the municipality’s noise ordinance currently in effect.

   (2)  The municipality’s resolution that:

     (i)   Confirms the municipality’s support of the petition to substitute the municipal noise ordinance for the Board’s regulation.

     (ii)   Cites the municipal noise ordinance.

     (iii)   States the municipality’s intention to enforce the ordinance in place of the Board’s regulations.

   (3)  A complete written description of the boundary lines for the proposed exempted noise area.

   (4)  One copy of a geographical map, the minimum size of which is 36" x 36", including the designated boundary lines of the proposed exempted noise area within the municipality.

   (5)  Three copies of the geographical map required by paragraph (4), the size of which will be 81/2" x 111/2".

   (6)  Identification of a proposed location, within the proposed exempted noise area, to be used by the Board to hold the required public hearing within the proposed exempted area.

   (7)  Identification of a local print publication of general circulation that would satisfy 65 Pa.C.S. Chapter 7 (relating to open meetings) notice requirement for announcement of the required public hearing.

 (b)  A date for a public hearing shall be set and public notice given in advance of the hearing: The hearing must comply with all notice, recording and public participation requirements of 65 Pa.C.S. Chapter 7.

 (c)  Within 60 days after receipt of the petition, the Board will disapprove the petition for an exemption in its entirety or may approve an area more limited for which the petition will be granted if the Board finds that granting the petition will have an adverse effect on the welfare, health, peace and morals of the residents living in the vicinity of the identified area; otherwise the Board will approve the petition.

 (d)  The Board may place additional conditions on the petition’s approval such as limiting the duration of the approval and any other condition the Board deems appropriate.

 (e)  There shall be a right to appeal to the court of common pleas in the same manner provided by this act for appeals from refusals to grant licenses.

 (f)  A municipality may rescind any existing exemption from the Board’s regulations regarding amplified music by notifying the Board of its intention to do so in writing, 15 days prior to the rescission date. The notice must be accompanied by an ordinance or resolution authorizing the rescission.

 (g)  A rescission of an existing exemption which does not rescind the entire exempted area shall be treated as a new petition for exemption with the Board and shall follow the procedures in this section.

§ 5.51. Cleaning of coils, tap rods and connections.

 (a)  Coils, tap rods and connections, used in drawing malt or brewed beverages in licensed establishments, shall be thoroughly cleaned at least once every 7 days at the sole expense of the licensee dispensing the beverages on draft. The cleaning of coils, tap rods and connections by one licensee for another licensee is prohibited.

 (b)  The following methods of cleaning coils, tap rods and connections have been approved by the Board:

   (1)  Live steam.

   (2)  Hot water and soda solution, followed by thorough rinsing with hot water.

   (3)  Another method which thoroughly cleans the coils, tap rods and connections, and leaves them in a sanitary condition.

   The provisions of this §  5.51 adopted June 26, 1952; amended through July 28, 1972, effective July 29, 1972, 2 Pa.B. 1441.

 (a)  Coils, tap rods and connections may be cleaned for the licensee by a person, other than another licensee, thoroughly equipped to do so by a method enumerated in §  5.51 (relating to cleaning of coils, tap rods and connections).

 The licensee has the sole responsibility of maintaining equipment used in dispensing malt or brewed beverages on draft in a clean and sanitary condition. The mere fact that records of licensees indicating that coils, tap rods and connections have been cleaned are no defense to disciplinary action under the law and the provisions of this subchapter if the coils, tap rods or connections are at any time found to be in an insanitary condition.

Subchapter J. MINORS ON LICENSED PREMISES

Sec.

 (a)  Section 493(14) of the Liquor Code (47 P. S. §  4-493(14)) creates several exceptions to the general prohibition of minors being present in licensed premises. One of these exceptions, known as the ‘‘Pizza Hut’’ exception, permits a minor to be present in a restaurant, hotel or retail dispenser (but not a club) licensed premises that has gross sales of food and nonalcoholic beverages equal to at least 50% of its combined gross sales of both food and alcoholic beverages.

 (b)  Licensees qualifying for this exception will not be cited for unlawfully allowing minors to frequent the licensed premises.

 (c)  To qualify for this exception, a licensee will assure that:

   (1)  Minors are not permitted to sit at the bar counter of the premises.

   (2)  Alcoholic beverages are not served to any adult at the table or booth where the minor is seated, unless the minor is also there with a parent, legal guardian or proper supervisor.

   (3)  Sales of food and nonalcoholic beverages at the licensed premises during the preceding 12-month licensing year are at least 50% of the combined gross sales of both food and alcoholic beverages.
