Senate Judiciary Committee to convene, but no plans for legislative mask mandate

The state Senate’s Judiciary Committee is scheduled to meet in special session Monday to review two judicial appointments but has no plans to discuss whether to clarify that masks are mandatory across the state to curb the spread of COVID-19.

For weeks lawmakers and others have been calling on Gov. David Ige to declare in a supplemental emergency proclamation that masks are required. Ige’s office has said that his proclamations already mandate that masks must be worn.

But confusion remains.
