And exactly accomplishes what?

Just seems like a silly "gotcha!" move. It's one thing to ban local authorities or businesses to impose any mask mandates at this point, but banning masks for people who voluntarily wear them is ridiculous. Hasn't the state bigger issues to solve?

The idea behind the bill is the worry that the health exception of the current mask ban enables people to hide their identity while engaging in riots and destructive protests.

This bill probably needs some fine-tuning, but I highly doubt that the reason most of the campus protesters wear masks is for actual fear of covid or another illness.

And, I would agree that it's perfectly legitimate for mask wearing to be prohibited in some cases (usually probably at the discretion of a business).  I can absolutely see why somewhere like a bank would want to ban mask wearing for security reasons.
