Senator Wants Clarification On Who’s Exempt From Mask Mandate

State Sen. Pete Lucido intends to introduce legislation that would clarify what exempts someone from the governor’s order that people wear a face mask while out in public.

Lucido’s office said the Republican Shelby Township senator intends to introduce the bill as early as July 22.

A recent executive order from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to require mask-wearing provides an exception for anyone who “Cannot medically tolerate a face covering.”

Lucido’s office said the statement is too vague and offers no guidance to businesses on how to deal with people who claim they have a medical condition that exempts them from the mandate.
