It is illegal to sell a motor vehicle on a Sunday.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

This is a classic remnant of puritanical blue laws intended to guarantee a day of rest for workers and encourage church attendance. Minnesota remains one of the few states that fiercely defends this weekend restriction.
