HARRISBURG — A divided state House is sending a new proposal to privatize Pennsylvania’s government-run liquor system to the Senate, but it’s not much different from a Republican-backed plan that Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed in June.

The House voted 110 to 86 today for a bill that would close all 600 state stores and create 1,200 permits to sell wine and liquor.

Beer distributors would get the first opportunity to buy the permits, and what’s left would be auctioned off.

The wholesale system would be leased to a state-licensed importer for a decade, after which it, too, would be sold off.

Some form of liquor privatization could pass the Legislature as part of a deal to resolve the state’s budget stalemate, currently in its fifth month.
