Proposed Bill Could Make Masks Optional for Arizona Businesses

February 24, 2021

A Fox 10 News article titled "Proposed Bill Would Allow Arizona Businesses to Ignore Mask Mandates" expands on the bill that was recently introduced to the state's legislature. The Republican-sponsored bill would give Arizona businesses the option of ignoring mask mandates, so it comes as no surprise that it has garnered a fair share of supporters and detractors.

While Governor Ducey has yet to enforce a statewide mask mandate, House Commerce Committee representative Joseph Chaplik introduced the bill to make mask mandates optional for local businesses within Arizona.

The text on Arizona House Bill 2770 specifically states that "notwithstanding any other law, a business in this state is not required to enforce on its premises a mask mandate that is established by this state, a city, town or county or any other jurisdiction of this state."
