JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Attorney General Eric Schmitt issued a legal threat to school districts and local health agencies on Tuesday, demanding they scrap COVID-19 health orders following a judge’s ruling last month.
In a statement, Schmitt said he was demanding that local governments and public school districts “rescind and cease enforcement and publicizing of public health orders, mask mandates, quarantine orders, or other orders that were declared null and void by the recent decision.”
The notification follows a November ruling by Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green that said health orders related to COVID-19 should be lifted.
