What changed between versions
The definition of 'facial covering' was updated to explicitly list tactical masks, gaiters, ski masks, and other items that obscure facial identity.
New exemptions were added for medical-grade masks (like N95s) used for disease protection, devices for underwater operations, motorcycle/bicycle helmets, fire helmets during arson investigations, and protective eyewear.
A new exemption was added for translucent face shields or clear masks that do not conceal the wearer's identity, provided they are used in compliance with agency policy.
Editorial elements such as the 'B-Engrossed' header, the legislative summary digest, and formatting notes regarding boldfaced type were removed as the bill was finalized.
The document header was updated from 'B-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled,' and the sponsor list was reformatted to include additional representatives and senators who joined the bill during the final stages.
