Operative words
{para. 3} Within the first few months of the pandemic, appellee Ohio Liquor Control Commission adopted an emergency rule restricting these statutorily permitted hours of sale and on-site consumption of alcoholic beverages. This rule was codified as Ohio Adm.Code 4301:1-1-80, known at the time as 'Rule 80.' Rule 80 applied to all liquor-permit holders who were authorized to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption. The rule limited the permitted times for the sale and on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages, requiring that sales cease at 10:00 p.m. and that on-premises consumption cease at 11:00 p.m.... {para. 4}... the rule took effect immediately upon the filing of the final rule on July 31, 2020.... By operation of law pursuant to R.C. 119.03(G)(1), Rule 80 could remain in effect for only 120 days, causing its automatic expiration on November 29, 2020.
