BISMARCK (INFORUM) — The North Dakota Senate agreed to repeal the state’s ban on Sunday morning shopping Tuesday, March 19.
The Senate approved House Bill 1097 in a 25-21 vote, sending it to Gov. Doug Burgum, a Republican who has already signaled his intent to sign the legislation undoing the so-called “blue law.” Senators narrowly defeated a similar bill in 2017.
The state House approved the repeal bill two months ago.
North Dakota became the final state to permit Sunday shopping when retailers were allowed to open their doors after noon in the early 1990s. Today, restaurants, hotels, movie theaters and other businesses are exempt from the law that makes it a Class B misdemeanor to operate a business before noon on Sunday.
The repeal would take effect Aug. 1.
