Pennsylvanians interested in bringing in out-of-state beer, wine and liquor could soon be able to do so without the possibility of fines if caught.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed as bill Friday that would eliminate the practice of fining Pennsylvania residents caught bringing beer, wine or liquor across state lines.

The bill would also allow residents to make purchases for other residents.

The proposal now heads to the Pennsylvania Senate for its consensus.

Under the current state law, residents can be fined $10 per bottle or can of beer and $25 per container of wine or liquor if they are caught by law enforcement bringing it across state lines. Many Pennsylvania residents are unaware of the law.
