Alaska Supreme Court

Club Sinrock, LLC v. Municipality of Anchorage, Office of the Municipal Clerk

August 2, 2019445 P.3d 1031

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court held that the Anchorage municipal closing‑hours ordinance applies to adult cabarets but, applying strict scrutiny under the Alaska Constitution’s free‑speech clause, found the restriction unconstitutional as applied. The court affirmed the statutory interpretation and reversed the lower court’s ruling on the constitutional claim.
