Martins, Rhoads Propose Statewide Mask Ban

(excerpt from The Long island Press by Michael Malaszczyk)


It may soon be illegal to wear a mask anywhere in New York State — not just Nassau County.


State Sens. Jack Martins (R-Mineola) and Steven Rhoads (R-Wantagh) proposed Thursday a law that would essentially expand Nassau’s Mask Transparency Act to be enacted statewide. The GOP-majority Nassau County Legislature voted of 12-0 with all seven Democrats abstaining before Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman signed the bill into law Wednesday. It makes wearing a face mask illegal, and punishable by a fine and possible jail time.
