Governor Confirms K-12 Students Who Don't Wear Masks Can Be Charged with a Crime
Herbert issued the mask mandate, for grades K-12, in July. *The reopening of Utah’s public schools has drawn new attention to the edict, which calls for a maximum punishment of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for showing up without one. The order applies equally to adults and children*, and any charge would be a misdemeanor.
Herbert said Thursday that parents opposed to his order are “a little bit irrational,” according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
