- Whereas, Remaining mask mandates place an undue burden on those who use public transportation. Many individuals use public transportation to commute to work. Without a mask, they may be denied a ride, putting their employment and livelihood at risk. Further, users of public transportation fear fines and federal repercussions if they simply forget a mask or choose not to wear one; and Whereas, Removing the federal mask mandate respects an individual’s right to determine for themselves if they choose to wear a mask; and Whereas, With direction from the President of the United States and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal Transportation Security Administration has extended the face mask requirement for public transportation through April 18, 2022. This mandate is neither reflective of scientific guidance nor consistent with other mask policies. Airline and public transportation authorities should follow the pattern of relaxation of mandates across the country; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate, That we call for an immediate end to public transportation mask mandates; and be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Administrator of the federal Transportation Security Administration, and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. P ending the order that, under rule 3.204, the resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations, Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
