Bill > S172

This bill, the "No Mask Mandates Act of 2023," seeks to terminate any existing mask mandates imposed by the Federal Government and prevents the implementation of new mask mandates, with the aim of preserving individual liberty. Specifically, it voids the January 2021 executive order and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's order requiring the use of masks on conveyances and at transportation hubs. The bill also amends the Public Health Service Act to clarify that the Secretary does not have the authority to require the use of face masks in response to a public health emergency. Additionally, the bill restricts the use of previously appropriated funds to develop, implement, or enforce any federal rule, regulation, or order requiring the use of masks in response to COVID-19.
