HR 7964 United States House · 118th Congress

Defunding Unscientific Mask Mandates Act of 2024

This bill prohibits the use of federal funds to establish, implement, or enforce any requirement for wearing facial coverings to prevent COVID-19 spread. It directly affects federal agencies and any entities receiving federal funding that might enforce mask mandates. The key provision blocks all federal financial support for mask mandate enforcement, meaning no government money could be used to require or support such rules. This is a funding restriction, not a ban on mask mandates themselves, and applies only to federal resources.
