The Law

A classic example of an old 'blue law,' this statute was intended to keep the Sabbath holy and ensure butchers had at least one day off per week. Before widespread refrigeration, butchers worked notoriously long hours, and religious groups pushed to mandate a day of rest. While completely ignored today, it technically remains buried in historical state records.
