St. George News, "Attorney General Gets 'Happy Hour' Lawsuit Dismissed," Cedar City News, August 30, 2012, accessed April 11, 2022
The Utah Attorney General’s Office ended a lawsuit Tuesday challenging a state liquor law prohibiting “happy hour” and other discounts and tying liquor licenses to alcohol enforcement officers. U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins dismissed the federal lawsuit filed by the Utah Hospitality Association after some clarification was provided on how clubs could legally change alcohol prices under the new law.
“This is a great win for Utah at a relatively early point in the case,” Assistant Attorney General Kyle Kaiser said. “Utah is a liquor control state and the state has the authority to place reasonable restrictions on the sale of alcoholic beverages to help prevent over-consumption.”
