The controversy over Sunday closing laws in Utah spanned more than a quarter of a century, between 1943 and 1971, Sunday closing laws were attacked and defended on constitutional and religious grounds. "Blue laws" in Utah stretch back to the days before statehood, when Sunday business was proscribed in the Territory under the heading of "Crimes and Offenses Against Good Morals."
