Amendment Would List Many Sunday Sales Curbs
Hartford AP report on an amendment drafted to expand Sunday business openings while stopping short of full repeal of Connecticut blue laws. The proposal mirrors a Virginia law and lists activities allowed on Sundays, including transit, public services, vehicle and boat repairs, media production, medical services, sports, agriculture, food and drug sales, hotels, publishing, mining, and property sales. The plan aims to win sufficient Senate votes amid opposition from craft merchants and organized labor who fear broader access.
