House Speaker Says Legislature Will Consider Banning County Mask Mandates

(Salt Lake City, UT) — The Utah Legislature may introduce bills to prevent local mask mandates. Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson said yesterday that several lawmakers are considering bills in the upcoming session that would stop county governments from implementing mask mandates. The legislature already has the power to review county-level mandates and introduce bills to overturn them. The Salt Lake County Council is set to meet today to vote on whether to overturn the county’s current mask mandate.
