North Carolina Republican lawmakers have reached a compromise on a bill that would have removed protections for people who wear masks in public for health reasons
Republican lawmakers in North Carolina struck a compromise on a bill that now maintains a health exemption for masking in public while preventing the use of masks during criminal activity, but only one chamber chose to vote on it Thursday. The state Senate passed the new masking bill — negotiated by both chambers to remedy concerns on the removal of a pandemic-era health exemption — in a 28-0 vote that Senate Democrats were absent from in protest.
Senate leader Phil Berger said the language will “level the playing field” after a 2020 State Board of Elections advisory opinion that he said favored the Democratic Governors Association and similar groups to give unlimited amounts of money directly to the state Democratic Party. He said Democrats didn't vote on the bill because they didn't have a way to defend the opinion.
