PA SGOC Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement Publishes updated Schedules

The PA BLCE published new and updated Schedules for all SGOC licensees. 

As of this blog post (April 27, 2014), The bottom of the PA BLCE SGOC page still has a message stating they are reviewing recent changes, however it appears they posted their interpretation and as previously reported in this blog, the PA BLCE interpretation is 'in-line' with the PA Department of Revenue's published interpretation.

What’s old?

You will want to ignore the last document listed on the site as it appears to be an older version of the Bureau’s interpretation.  The document references of $5000 max payout and keeping winners information for prizes $101.  These totals are no longer accurate.  The current total requirements are stated in the first pdf file listed which is the ‘Explanation of SGOC Schedules”.

Ignore this document;

 

 

What’s new?

The Schedule 3 description clearly states (as does the PA Dept. of Revenues) that licensees requirement for recording prizes in excess of $600.  I personally know of many organizations that are still recording the winners over $100.  Please note that you can continue to record the winners information for the over $100 winners if you wish, however the requirement is now greater than $600 so you do not have to keep winners information if it is not greater than $600.

Schedule 8, Race Night Records

Ignore Schedule 7, Pools as it is not legal and will not be used;

Are there any organizations that are planning on having the Race Nights?  If so, please know you can only have 1 every calendar month. 

Of course our Sienna Database System will be modified to include the Schedule 8 Race Night.
