RALEIGH, N.C. — A bill cracking down on mask-wearing in public is not expected to pass in the state House on Wednesday, May 22.
You may have heard lawmakers are considering a bill that addresses mask-wearing. The bill would repeal a state law that allows people to wear masks in public.
Legislators did it to crack down on people wearing masks during protests, as we saw a few weeks ago at UNC.
The rule would also apply to someone wearing a mask in public for health reasons. That has some lawmakers concerned.
A spokesperson for House Speaker Tim Moore said he doesn't expect the House to advance the bill Wednesday.
