Summary

The bill bans law‑enforcement officers from purposefully wearing any mask or disguise when interacting with the public, with limited exceptions for medical masks, smoke‑protective gear, and special‑weapons team equipment. Officers must also display their name and badge number on their uniform. Violations are a fourth‑degree misdemeanor, but the rule does not apply to undercover assignments.
