The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. The act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), known
as the Liquor Code, reenacted and amended June 29, 1987 (P.L.32,
No.14), is amended by adding a section to read:
Section 415. Reporting.--(a) A corporation, association or
other board-licensed entity, except a club, having officers, or
directors, or stockholders shall report a change in officers, or
directors, or stockholders within fifteen days. A change in
stockholders involving less than ten per centum of outstanding
voting stock need not be reported, except when the change
involves a majority or controlling interest. Control is defined
as the power or authority to manage, direct, govern, administer
or oversee the operation of the licensed business.
(b) The changes shall be reported on forms which will be
furnished upon request by the board. For a change in
stockholders, an affidavit describing, in detail, the source of
funds used to purchase the stock shall accompany the form. If
funds to purchase the stock are derived from a written financing
agreement, the financing agreement shall also accompany the
form.
(c) Club change of officers shall be reported with the
renewal of club license on forms furnished by the board upon
request. Change of club manager or steward shall be reported
with the renewal of club license and at license validation on
forms furnished by the board upon request.
(d) Change of officer forms for club licensees shall be
accompanied by a fee of forty dollars ($40.00). When a
background investigation is conducted to obtain or verify
information regarding a club change of officer, an additional
fee of sixty dollars ($60.00), for a total fee of one hundred
dollars ($100.00), will be assessed. Change of officer forms for
changes of corporate officers other than clubs shall be
accompanied by a fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00) when the
change of officer does not constitute a change in
majority/controlling interest. If the change of corporate
officer does constitute a change in majority/controlling
interest, fees will be assessed in accordance with section 614-A
