Mask Mandate Ban in Transport and Education Until End of 2024.

This act prohibits federal authorities from imposing mandatory mask mandates on airplanes, public transit, and in schools and universities until December 31, 2024. This means airlines, public transit operators, and educational institutions will not be able to require passengers or students to wear masks, nor deny them access for this reason. The goal is to ensure citizens' freedom of choice regarding mask-wearing in these settings.
