prohibiting mandatory mask policies in schools.
This bill would have prevented school districts and public schools from enforcing rules that require students or visitors to wear face coverings, such as masks, while on school property. It allows schools to keep mandatory mask policies only if they are needed for specific sports, science safety, or individualized health plans for students with disabilities. The law would have taken effect 60 days after being passed, but it was ultimately vetoed by the governor and did not become law.
