This bill would prohibit the federal government from using any of its funds to create, put in place, or enforce requirements that people wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The legislation would apply broadly to all federal funding sources and would prevent federal agencies, programs, and institutions that receive federal money from implementing or enforcing mask mandates related to COVID-19. The bill does not specify a particular timeline for implementation or identify any specific agencies or programs, but it would effectively bar federal spending on mask mandate policies across the government. The measure was introduced in April 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where it remained without further action during that congressional session.
