Utah Legislature last day: Liquor law changes celebrated with cookies

The 2018 Utah legislative session ends at midnight. Here are some of the more interesting happenings as the lawmaking comes to a close:

Another revision of the state’s alcohol laws breezed through the Senate early Thursday morning, with changes to liquor licenses for sports arenas with over 6,500 seats, a slight increase in the number of bar licenses and several more licenses for the Salt Lake City airport.

Notably, lawmakers included changes to a 2017 law that required restaurants to put up signs that read: “This is a restaurant, not a bar.”

The Utah House convened at 9:35 — 35 minutes late.
