Senate Strikes Down Mask Mandate Bill

Masks

The Senate has voted down a bill to require masks inside retail spaces and government-owned buildings.

The measure would have included bars, restaurants, recreational and athletic facilities, and various other businesses.

The bill spelled out exceptions. Those included eating in a public place, during medical or dental care, and for public safety employees when a mask would interfere with work.
