It is illegal to not bathe at least once a year.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

An archaic statute technically requires every citizen of the Commonwealth to take a bath at least once a year. Passed during an era when personal hygiene was quite poor and deadly cholera outbreaks were common, the state felt the need to mandate a bare minimum annual scrub. Thankfully, modern society usually exceeds this legal hygienic threshold.
