Missouri attorney general, St. Louis county leaders express opposing views on mask mandate
https://www.kansascity.com/news/coronavirus/article252958273.html"This is the first time local leaders have issued a new order since Gov. Mike Parson signed Bill 271 on June 15, 2021. The bill limits the power of emergency health orders issued by local governments.
Since this is the first order issued after the June 15 bill, there are questions circling on if this statewide bill applies to the local bill.
If it does, the St. Louis County Council and the St. Louis City Board of Aldermen can terminate the order by a simple majority vote.
Lawyer Jay Kanzler with Witzel, Kanzler and Dimmitt LLC, said it’s not clear yet if this bill will even be applicable to the St. Louis order because of the language in the bill.
He said it may all come down to one word, access. "
