AI Summary

This bill, the Federal Mask Mandate Limitations Act, requires federal agencies that issue a mask requirement for commercial aircraft, airports, trains, public maritime vessels, and public transportation to publish information on which the decision was based, including data, scientific, and cost-benefit analyses, and the economic impact. The agencies must also submit this information to Congress and relevant congressional committees. The bill establishes a congressional review process, requiring agencies to submit the requirement to Congress for approval before it can take effect. It also provides a limited exception for the President to temporarily implement a requirement in an emergency, but Congress must still approve it for it to continue.
