S 7886 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

Bill S 7886 proposes to repeal Article 2 of the general business law, which concerns the Sabbath and activities performed on that day. This action would remove existing state-level restrictions or regulations related to the Sabbath for businesses and individuals. The bill also makes a conforming change to the racing, pari-mutuel wagering, and breeding law, ensuring that the commission's authority to specify operating dates for franchised corporations is no longer constrained by the repealed Sabbath law. This change primarily affects entities previously subject to these Sabbath-related regulations.
