The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is providing more details about their decision to overturn Governor Tom Wolf’s school mask mandate.
The Democratic-majority court said that Wolf had no legal authority to require the masks as his emergency order had expired.
Justices did say that the Department of Health has broad authority to protect public health, but the lack of an emergency order revokes any ability to institute a masking requirement.
Their decision did not mention whether or not schools had the authority to implement mask mandates as some are choosing to do.
