HB182 specifically prohibits a chief executive officer of a municipality from exercising emergency powers during a pandemic, epidemic or public health emergency. The bill would leave local governments at the mercy of county authorities.
If HB182 passes with two-thirds support in both the House and Senate, it goes into effect upon the governor’s signature and would terminate Salt Lake City’s mask order immediately.
. Mendenhall claimed she had the legal authority to take such a move despite Utah lawmakers delegating that authority to county health departments, not municipal leaders. The requirement to wear a mask inside city facilities remains in effect. The proposal from Rep.

The bill specifically blocks local health departments from enforcing any state law on state property at any time, leaving that authority to the Utah Department of Health.
