Pa Attorney General Shapiro Says Health Secretary Does Have Power to Order Making Mandate.

(Harrisburg, Pa.) Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro is weighing in on the legality of Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam’s masking order in schools. Shapiro’s office has filed a brief in Harrisburg that says Beam does have the power to mandate masks.
The letter is in response to a lawsuit that claims she does not have the power to order a mask mandate. The lead plaintiff is State Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman said Beam needs to follow regulatory laws on school masks, but Shapiro said she already has that power.

A judge in Commonwealth Courts will ultimately decide soon who is right in the case.
