Construction and Other Business Activities Allowed to Resume in PA under Certain Conditions
Written by: Alan Nochumson
Additionally, Governor Wolf signed Senate Bill 841 that approves qualified Pennsylvania notaries public to perform remote online notarizations, which will allow auto dealerships to conduct limited car sales and leasing operations through online sales, as a notary is required to complete such transactions. Auto dealerships may continue to remain open for certain activities, such as repairs to passenger and commercial vehicles and sales of auto parts, but in-person car sales or leases are still considered non-life sustaining and remain prohibited.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board also began accepting orders by phone for curbside pickup at 176 locations around the Commonwealth. Phone orders can be placed between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and curbside pickups will then be scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. within a few days of order placement. There will be a limit of 6 bottles per order, and credit cards will be the only accepted form of payment. At pickup, customers will be required to present identification before the order can be picked up.
Curbside alcohol sales will serve as a guide to the Wolf administration to determine whether certain other non-life-sustaining businesses should be allowed to resume limited operations through curbside pickup, which is currently only permitted for life-sustaining businesses that offer food and pharmaceuticals.
