SUSPENDING THE REQUIREMENT THAT STUDENT ATHLETES WEAR FACE COVERINGS WHILE PARTICIPATING IN NON-HIGH-RISK INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS OUTDOORS IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH PARITY IN FACE COVERING REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUTH AND AMATEUR SPORTS AND FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS.

This Joint Resolution suspends the requirement that student athletes participating in non-high risk sports outdoors wear masks while actively engaged in practice or game play while on the field for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. This establishes parity between the Governor's face covering restrictions for youth and amateur sports and the face covering restrictions for interscholastic sports. Finally, this Joint Resolution requires that an authenticated copy of the resolution be forwarded, upon the resolution going into effect, to the Executive Director of the DIAA, who shall be responsible for its dissemination to all DIAA Member Schools.
