Few if any states regulate draft beer based on alcohol content. Utah is abnormal in not allowing any beer over 4% to be sold in anything other than bottles or cans. (So you'll understand I can buy a 22 ounce bottle of 10% beer at a bar but I can't buy a 12 or 16 ounce glass of 10% beer)
And perhaps your post demonstrates the frustration many of us in Utah have...those who make the laws are doing so without having any knowledge about the subject. (The Eagle Forum and Sutherland Institute are not reference material)
