6 thoughts on “Bars, restaurants assessing impact of new ‘happy hour’ law

    1. Requiring insurance and then walking away from other risk mitigation will result in the situation found in many states, where the price of dram shop liability insurance is too high and bars can’t afford it.
      Left to their own devices, many bar owners will engage in whatever conduct they believe will give them some minor edge in securing customers.

      Violating requirements in an insurance policy frequently doesn’t bring about consequences, as courts are reluctant to allow injured parties to be precluded from insurance benefits. So, courts don’t enforce the provisions and conditions of insurance policies (because really, who wants to support the insurance industry), the company has to pay, and there are few reprecussions to the bar owner or staff.

      Statutes have teeth…illegal actions are not insurable, and should result in the bar being shut down (unless the bar’s attorney has the local ABC group wrapped around his or her finger).

  1. “Chris Martin, president of Finney Hospitality Group, described the new law as probably the biggest change to the state’s alcohol laws in the last 40 years.”

    Seems Chris forgot we didn’t have Sunday sales until 2018.

  2. Braun professes the desire to make Indiana more (!) conservative. This change seems to pint in the opposite direction. Conservative, one must assume, has varied definitions.

    1. What conservatives stood for 30 years ago is long gone.

      What conservative stands for now is rolling back any changes to the laws of this country since FDR was president. They want everything except the tax rates from that era.
