INDIANAPOLIS — The state's Attorney General is raising questions not about masks or face coverings, but whether the Governor has a right to impose a statewide mandate on Monday.
Attorney General Curtis Hill's advisory is an opinion that Governor Eric Holcomb can ignore. But, someone could use the advisory to file a legal challenge.
Hear Curtis Hill's explanation on such legality issues with the mandate, and more, in the two videos above.
Hill also raised concerns about potential fines that could be imposed in violation of the statewide mask mandate that goes into effect on Monday.
Holcomb says he believes he has the authority to carry out the mandate. Saying, "I wouldn't have said it if I didn't believe it. I do believe it."
According to Hill, the governor's office never consulted with his office on the mandate and that the Attorney General Stands is willing to do so moving forward.
