Compromise bill: Zion Curtains stay up, but fines for serving minors go down

Last updated Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - 9:22am

SALT LAKE CITY — The Zion Curtains will stay, but fines for serving minors will go down in a compromise bill crafted by House and Senate leaders Tuesday.

Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, introduced an amended version of HB 228, which includes portions of three separate bills, as proposed changes to the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.

Valentine said he met with House leaders, including Rep. Ryan Wilcox, R-North Ogden, to find common ground on the compromise, avoiding a rush on the last day of the session.

Compromise — a word they teach you when you’re still a child. You give a little, others give a little, and everyone can end up happy.

At least that’s the picture they paint the first time.
