State attorneys say a federal lawsuit filed by the Utah Hospitality Association should be thrown out. That lawsuit claims a ban on bar happy-hours and limiting liquor licenses violates federal anti-trust laws.
Utah lawmakers decided to make discounted drinks at happy hour illegal in Utah and they continue to limit the number of liquor licenses that can be awarded.
The Utah Hospitality Association says they hurt local businesses by limiting their ability to do business and violating federal law.
