On Tuesday, the Alachua County Commission in Florida, voted to end an ordinance that required residents to wear protective face masks when in public.
The decision to change the county's face mask requirement stems from a number of lawsuits filed against the previous requirement, put into place on May 1, following Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' phased reopening plan.
"While my client appreciates that the county is trying to help protect its citizens, it is going too far with the mandatory mask requirement, especially where healthy citizens are concerned," Jeff Childers, president and founder of Childers Law, said, according to theJonathan Klein/Getty "We don't have mask patrols on the street," said Sexton."But if we get a call from a citizen or an employee who says they don't feel safe because people aren't wearing masks in a business, we'll make a phone call. It's not the county commission's goal to arrest people or write citations."
