Supreme Court voids Hot Springs Sunday closing ban
The Arkansas Supreme Court struck down Hot Springs Sunday closing for stores employing more than two but upheld the broader principle that cities may enforce Sabbath observance on retail businesses. It ruled the ordinance illegal as written and urged rewriting and proper prosecution under existing state law. The decision preserves Blue Law concerns while recognizing evolving public practice and historic resistance to rigid Sunday trade limits.
