Blue Laws refer to the closing of all businesses at midnight on Saturday nite and not re-open until 1200 noon on Sunday. Business must be closed for 12 hours to allow for attendance for church. "slang" due to "mature" women who pushed for this law, "Blue haired ladies. Hence comes the term Blue Law.
