Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act of 2025
HR 81, the Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act of 2025, repeals the federal requirement for face masks on airplanes, buses, trains, and in transportation hubs. It specifically targets the January 29, 2021, CDC order under 42 U.S.C. §264 and related TSA directives (like EA 1546-21-01A), making them legally unenforceable. The bill prohibits any federal agency from imposing mask mandates for travelers using conveyances or transportation hubs. This directly affects travelers using air, land, or sea transportation within the U.S. and the federal agencies managing those systems.
