A 8138 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals article 2 of the general business law relating to the sabbath

Bill A 8138 proposes to repeal Article 2 of the general business law, which currently governs activities performed on the Sabbath. This action would eliminate existing state-level legal restrictions related to business operations and other activities on the Sabbath. The bill also makes a conforming change to the racing law, removing a specific reference to the repealed Sabbath provisions. This change would primarily affect businesses and individuals previously subject to these Sabbath-related laws.
