They were called "Blue Laws" when I was a kid in Ohio

The Polish Parliament has approved a ban on trading in shops and supermarkets covering twelve days in a year. They include Christmas, Easter, the Constitution Day of May Third, the Pentecost, Corpus Christi, Ascention Day - August 15, All Saints' Day on November 1 and Independence Day on November 11. Chemists' and petrol stations are the only exceptions. 275 deputies were for the new law, 103 were against and 25 abstained. The bill has to be approved by the upper house of the Parliament – the Senate.

Ahh, the Buckeye Blue Laws.

That was a much simpler and more civil time ;-)
