HARRISBURG, PA —A measure being introduced in the state House would let bars and restaurants to sell mixed drinks to-go permanently. Legislation last year permitted temporary to-go sales during the pandemic. "My legislation is needed to make this change permanent, state Rep. Kurt Masser, who represents portions of portions of Columbia, Montour and Northumberland counties, said in a memo to House colleagues . "Making this initiative permanent will provide our bars and restaurants with a needed option to continue to make up funds that they lost during this crisis." On Tuesday, the House Liquor Control Committee voted 23-0 to approve the legislation. It's unclear when, or if, the full House will vote on the bill.
