People Who Violate Austin Mask Rules Could Be Fined Up To $2,000
By Andrew Weber | KUT Jul 9, 2020
Austin will now enforce laws that require people to wear facial coverings in public and penalize businesses for not following measures that aim to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
People who violate the mask rules could face a fine of up to $2,000 and could be taken to civil court by the city.
Austin's rules already mandate masks as does a statewide emergency order from Gov. Greg Abbott but an ordinance Austin City Council passed unanimously Thursday set up a penalty for not wearing one. There are a handful of exemptions within the rules that line up with the governor's order. Children under 10 and people who have medical conditions that prevent mask-wearing are not required to wear them.
