State police hand out 78 warnings to businesses

The Pennsylvania State Police released data on actions taken Thursday against non-life-sustaining businesses that failed to comply with Gov. Tom Wolf’s order closing their physical locations.

Enforcement began on Monday, and since then, a total of 78 warnings have been handed out. No citations have been given out.

The governor has directed the following state agencies and local officials to enforce the closure orders to the full extent of the law:

• Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board

• Department of Health

• Department of Agriculture

• Pennsylvania State Police

• Municipal Police

• Local officials, using their resources to enforce closure orders within their jurisdictions

The current list of businesses classified as life-sustaining, resources for affected businesses, and information businesses to request a waiver/exemption are available from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

To report a noncompliant business, contact your local law enforcement agency’s nonemergency number. Do not call 911 to file reports.
