Prohibits wearing face coverings at any assembly at public buildings
HB 3233 prohibits wearing face coverings at any assembly held in or on public buildings, affecting attendees at events like meetings, rallies, or gatherings in government facilities. The bill includes two key exemptions: face coverings worn for health and safety (such as during illness) or for religious reasons are allowed. It directly changes current practices by restricting face coverings at these public events, except where health or religious needs apply. The bill does not address private property or other settings beyond public building assemblies.
