Don't worry though, they made sure to put some vague exemptions!🙄

Came across a comrade making some cool agitprop. Here's their kofi.

Thank you. I now understand that we're not talking about COVID masks, which threw me for a loop given the title of this community.

The measure added language that allows people to wear “medical or surgical grade masks” to prevent spreading illnesses. It also allows law enforcement and property owners to ask someone to temporarily remove their mask for identification.

“Basically, you can wear a mask for health and safety if you’re not planning on breaking the law,” said Gaston County Republican Rep. John Torbett, one of the bill’s sponsors.

You're welcome. We're still talking talking about covid masks though. I very much recommend listening to that podcast; Immunocompromised folks have been dealing with the discrimination and abuse of these mask bans for years even before covid.

Gotcha, thanks for explaining that. I see the problem now.
