Constitutional Question: Masks + Separation of Powers

Ohio governor has a statewide mask mandate but will not enforce the mandate in the buildings that house the courts or the Legislature.

Why will the Governor not tackle enforcement in these specific governmental buildings? It is a violation of separation of powers

Is the Ohio legislature enforcing a mask requirement? NO

What did each legislative branch do?

• President of the Senate urges people to wear masks
• House Administration has made clear by memos there is no mask requirement unless in Governor’s offices
