Act 199 is a Pennsylvania law that prohibits restaurants and bars from paying to advertise… Act 199 is a Pennsylvania law that prohibits restaurants and bars from paying to advertise drink specials in a college newspaper. The Pitt News has tried, unsuccessfully, to challenge the law, maintaining that it unconstitutionally violates commercial free speech.

Because more than 70 percent of this paper’s readers are at least 21 years old, The Pitt News believes this law to be a disservice to the community (both local retailers and over-21 readers) and will publish drink specials semi-regularly and free of charge.
