Utah Interdicted Person ID Scanner

Utah Alcohol Sales Update: Preparing for H.B. 437 (Interdicted Person Amendments) by January 1, 2026 Beginning January 1, 2026, Utah alcohol-selling businesses will see an important update to state compliance requirements.
Under House Bill 437 (H.B. 437) – Interdicted Person Amendments, licensees are expected to take reasonable steps to prevent alcohol sales to interdicted persons—individuals who are legally prohibited from purchasing alcohol.
For many businesses, this represents a natural extension of existing ID-checking practices rather than a complete operational change.
Minor Decliner ID scanners can be configured to help support this new requirement, providing clear alerts and documented compliance while keeping daily operations simple and efficient.

How Minor Decliner Supports H.B. 437 Compliance
Minor Decliner ID scanners are designed to assist with evolving alcohol compliance requirements, including interdicted person checks.
With appropriate configuration, a Minor Decliner system can provide:
1. Clear Identification During ID Scans
When an ID is scanned, the system can be set up to flag individuals who are not permitted to purchase alcohol, including interdicted persons, based on defined eligibility rules.
2. Automatic “No Alcohol Sale” Alerts
If a restriction is detected, the scanner displays a clear on-screen notification, such as:
• “NO ALCOHOL SALE”
This removes uncertainty for staff and supports consistent decision-making at the point of sale.
3. Compliance Logging for Records and Audits
Data is saved to meet Utah Requirements
4. Simple, Familiar Workflow
The process mirrors standard ID checks:
• Scan the ID
• Review the result
• Proceed or decline the sale as indicated
Minimal training is required, and existing workflows remain largely unchanged.
