Allegheny County Council Votes “NO” to Mask Mandate

(Pittsburgh, Pa.) Allegheny County Council “no” on the proposed mask mandate for indoor and outdoor gatherings on Tuesday.

Allegheny County Council members Bethany Hallam and Liv Bennett had proposed legislation that would require masks at all indoor gatherings and any outdoor gathering that has 250 people or more. Those who do not comply would have faced a fine of up to $100.

Typically newly introduced legislation goes to committee after the first reading, but Tuesday night, a member made the motion to bypass that process and waive the second reading. Ten members voted in favor of that and thus a vote was taken.
