mulct law

mulct law. Hist. An Iowa law that allowed some saloons to pay the state a sum of money and continue to operate despite a statewide prohibition against alcohol sales. • While the money paid was called a mulct, it was effectively a licensing tax rather than a criminal penalty because continuing violations of the liquor law were not prosecuted.
