"Gladwell told KSTU that the board was cracking down because they had been “allowing something the legislature had not intended” by granting permits for Oktoberfest over the last four decades.
“We felt like previous commissions had maybe drifted a little bit from the rules we had imposed on ourselves,” he insisted. “We’re reexamining our policies in all respects. It’s a healthy thing. It’s a good thing.”
It's a good thing how Mr. Gladwell?
(don't tread on me)
So for four decades it worked just fine? Talk about a rule in search of a problem.

That was what I said to the Guv--they had been interpreting the rule one way for 40 years and then, without warning, just announce that they are going another way. That's called arbitrary and capricious.
Is Mr Gladwell new to the position?

Yup. We're going through this now in my profession in my home state of CT where the department of public health had been interpreting how permits are granted for a certain kind of sedation license and had been done that way since the 70's and now without any changes to the text of the state statute pertaining to this, a new department of public health chair who took office a little over a year ago has chosen to interpret that exact same text in a completely different way that has essentially made it impossible to grant new permits and has made it almost logistically impossible to renew any existing permit
The feeling is, and unfortunately as it often can be in politics today, is that there was some behind the scenes "action" by a certain group who was looking to benefit from this change in the statute's interpretation, as opposed to the new interpretation being solely based on "correcting" a situation where the public may be put at adverse risk :uzi:

In this case I imagine it is a certain religious institution that has made the suggestion.
Nurse Anesthetist Union lobbying for more jobs?
More like anestheologists wanting essentially all out patient oral surgery sedation procedures (wisdom tooth extractions, large extraction cases, some biopsy procedures, etc) done in outpatient surgery centers where the anesthesia permits tied to that building are essentially all held by anesthiologists and/or anesthesia groups. The CNA's would also derrive some benefit from this change too, but not as much as the MD's
You mean they had time on their hands after they finished altering the high school yearbook photos?
