“If you choose to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you don’t want to and go into a place of business, we should not be making those business owners be law enforcement of a mandate,” Chaplik said.

> The bill has broad GOP support: 21 of Chaplik’s 30 Republican colleagues co-sponsored the bill.
In a press statement, Chaplik said
> he’s heard from many people who feel their “liberties are being stolen and being ordered to cover up their faces even when they are healthy,” and that
> business owners have been forced to become “mask police,” which has sometimes caused heated confrontations with customers.
Chaplik told the committee that he’s received hundreds of emails supporting his bill, which he said far outnumber the emails opposing it.
> He read comments from several of those supporters, who referred to mask mandates as “government overreach” and an “unscientific health mandate,” and said “countless studies” have shown masks to be ineffective in preventing the transmission of the novel coronavirus.

House committee OKs bill letting businesses ignore mask mandates

 

Businesses would be exempt from the face mask mandates that public health experts have repeatedly touted over the past year in the fight against COVID-19 under a bill approved by a legislative committee

The CDC recommends face masks for all activities outside the home and recently began urging people to wear cloth masks over surgical masks.
