Dismissal Refused in West Virginia Blue Law Case
Kanawha County Circuit Judge Frank Taylor refused to dismiss a suit challenging West Virginia's new blue law set to take effect Sunday. Discount firms including Heck's Joe's Bargain Fair and Leeds of Beckley plan to open, arguing enforcement would ruin business. The law tightens Sunday closing rules, bans various items, and imposes penalties up to 1000 dollars per clerk for a third offense. The West Virginia Retailers Association backed the law and sought dismissal, contending the law cannot be challenged before it takes effect. The judge will hear the case on its merits, with a hearing likely several weeks away.
