IT'S OFFICIAL: The mask ban in Nassau County, NY is now law and takes effect immediately.
It gives police the power to fine people wearing a mask $1,000 and sentence them to jail time.
While the bill includes health and religious exceptions, the broad language means anyone wearing a mask could be arrested.
