(g)  All recreational activities, sports, and amusements are
permitted on Sunday.

(h) (1) Except in cases of an emergency declared by the
federal, State, or county government, every nonmanagerial or
nonprofessional person employed in any retail or wholesale
establishment may choose Sunday or his Sabbath as a day of rest
and, upon the filing of written notice by the employee with the
employer that the employee chooses this day as a day of rest, no
employer may discharge, discipline, discriminate against, or
penalize the employee in any manner for exercising his rights
under this subsection.

(2)  In the event the employee desires to change his
written designation during the course of his employment, he may

notice of that change no later than 30 days prior to its
effective date.

(3)  Employers may not require, in any application
form for full-time employment, any prospective employee to answer

the county to enjoin any violation of this section.

(1) Any person, firm or corporation violating the
provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon

$1,000, for each employee caused, directed, permitted or
authorized to work in violation of this section, or an order
closing the business establishment for up to 10 business days, or
both. These provisions do not permit any fine upon any employee
or agent who has been caused or directed by his employer to
violate the provisions of this section.]
