The Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association is taking its push for a survival and recovery program for small business taverns and restaurants to Harrisburg.
Members of the group will make their case before a Pennsylvania state house committee on Tuesday morning.
The push comes amid COVID-19 mitigation efforts that have impacted the industry.
A PLBTA representative said restaurants and taverns in their group employ 150,000 people across the commonwealth and something needs to be done to preserve these businesses and save jobs.
Their recommendations include grants for the businesses to help with COVID-19-related revenue loss, eliminating license fees and surcharges for places that serve liquor for two years and allowing mixed drinks to go as a permanent practice in Pennsylvania.
