FEDERAL MASK MANDATE CASES
The Nature of Mask Mandates
In March of 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released guidelines recommending that Americans wear cloth face masks in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Since then, mask mandates have been enacted at the federal, state, and local levels in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. These mandates can take the form of executive orders, health regulations, or laws enacted by state and local legislatures.
Colorado Springs Mask Mandates
Currently, the City of Colorado Springs does not have a current mask mandate in place. However, since the beginning of the pandemic, Colorado Springs implemented a series of mask-wearing requirements and recommendations that have changed over time. For example, the City had previously issued a public health order requiring face coverings in indoor public spaces. However, this order was rescinded after the state of Colorado lifted its own statewide mask mandate.
El Paso, Fremont, and Teller counties may have different procedures and regulations in place regarding mask mandates so be sure to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in your county.
Understanding Your Constitutional Rights
The United States Constitution protects citizens from government overreach. One way the Constitution does this is by guaranteeing certain rights, such as the right to free speech and the right to practice one's religion freely. When government actors, such as law enforcement officers or state legislators, try to infringe on these rights, it is important to seek legal counsel.
