The opinion

PAPADAKOS, Justice,

concurring.

I reluctantly join the majority even though it says that a licensee who violates the Liquor Code must be charged within one year of the violation even though undiscovered for more than one year. I would ask the Legislature to clarify Section 471(a) of the Code so that citations may issue within one year of discovery of the violation.
