A judge struck down New York's mask mandate, ruling that officials didn't have authority to enact it without sign off from the state legislature
A state supreme court judge struck down New York state's mask mandate Monday, ruling that the governor and NY State Department of Health did not have the authority to enact such a mandate without approval from the State Legislature.
In an opinion released Monday, Nassau County Supreme Court Judge Thomas Rademaker argued that because New York was no longer under a state of emergency at the time the mask mandate was announced, the governor and health commissioner did not have the additional authority to order such a mandate, adding the mandate is now unenforceable.In March 2021, New York's state legislature passed a bill limiting the governor's ability to issue emergency orders.
