Hoverson’s Blue laws bill overwhelmingly struck down in North Dakota House

North Dakota lawmakers have decisively dismissed a proposal to reinstate the old Sunday closure law for retail stores. House Bill 1150, introduced by Rep. Jeff Hoverson of Minot’s District 3, aimed to bring back a mandate that banned shopping from midnight to noon on Sundays—a throwback to a rule eliminated in 2019. With an overwhelming 89-4 vote, the bill was killed in the House after receiving a Do No Pass recommendation in the Industry, Business and Labor committee

The four votes supporting were Representatives Hoverson, Heilman, J.Johnson, and Rios.
