The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Section 1. Section 474 of the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90,

1987 (P.L.32, No.14), is amended to read:
Section 474. Surrender of Club Licenses for Benefit of
Licensees.--Whenever a club license has been returned to the
board for the benefit of the licensee due to the licensed
establishment not having been in operation for any reason
whatsoever for a period of time not exceeding fifteen days, the
license shall be held by the board for the benefit of the
licensee for a period of time not exceeding one year, or, upon
proper application to the board, for an additional year, and the
license shall be revoked at the termination of the period, and
transfer of the license shall not be permitted after the
termination of the period. If a club license has been returned
to the board for the benefit of the licensee due to the licensed
establishment not being available because of a fire, flood or
other similar natural disaster and the licensed establishment
remains unavailable at the end of the initial one-year period,
the board shall extend the period for additional years, not to
exceed three additional years, upon proper annual application to
the board.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
