Summary

The bill changes the language in the criminal statute on wearing masks in public, replacing “charged with a felony” with “convicted of a felony.” This raises the standard for prosecution, so only those who have been found guilty of a felony can be subject to the mask‑wearing restriction. The amendment seeks to limit the scope of the law to individuals with a proven felony conviction.
