Help Understanding & Enforcing the Mask Requirement
On July 10, 2020, Governor Whitmer issued an executive order expanding the scope of and increasing enforcement around the requirement of 1.) individuals to wear masks or face coverings when in indoor public places and outdoors when distancing is not possible and 2.) businesses to enforce face mask usage on the general public.
Under this order, businesses will for the first time face penalties for the noncompliant behavior of their customers. This executive order places the employees of businesses into the primary law enforcement role of gaining compliance with rules on the general public when the general public visits the facility of a business. SBAM has put together a guide to help small businesses understand their responsibilities under E.O. 2020-147 and develop a policy to ensure compliance and safety of staff. |
