Because the investigation is ongoing, names of establishments issued a notice of violation have not been released. Compliance checks are unannounced and can occur anywhere in Pennsylvania, although the focus is on areas experiencing higher coronavirus transmission rates.
Violators may face administrative citation by the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement. Continued violations put an establishment’s liquor license at risk, either through the citation process or upon application for renewal.
Complaints regarding licensees not complying with COVID-19 mitigation mandates may be made by calling 1-800-932-0602 or reported through the BLCE’s online complaint form.
