North Carolina Senate Advances Public Mask Ban for Health Reasons with 30-15 Vote
May 16, 2024, 01:15 AM
The North Carolina state Senate has voted along party lines on Wednesday to advance a bill that bans the wearing of masks in public, including for health reasons. The bill, known as HB237, passed the Senate with a 30-15 vote. This legislation removes an exemption that previously allowed mask-wearing for medical reasons, such as for those who are immunocompromised. Critics argue that the bill could criminalize mask-wearing for health reasons, making it a Class 1 misdemeanor, while Republican supporters claim it will not criminalize such actions. The bill also aims to raise penalties for individuals who wear masks while committing crimes.
