by | Sep 22, 2020 | Legislative Update Blog, State Issue

From the Governor’s office: “Gov. Tony Evers today declared a new public health emergency in Wisconsin due to recent surge in cases among young people and issued a new face coverings order effective immediately. Executive Order #90 is available here. Emergency Order #1 is available here. Both orders are effective immediately and will expire after sixty days or with a subsequent superseding order. The governor previously declared a public health emergency under Executive Order #82, which remains in effect.” The previous emergency order and mask mandate were set to expire Monday, this extension would end on November 21.

The previous mandate was being challenged in court.  It is not clear if the state legislature will meet to overturn the latest order.
