Rep. Beth Van Duyne will have to pay a $500 fine for refusing to wear a mask during a May protest on the House’s mask rules.

Seven Republicans were issued warnings for violating the mask rules, while three Republicans, including Van Duyne, were fined $500 for violating the mask rules a second time. Van Duyne, of Irving, had previously violated the mask rules on May 13.

At issue was the chamber’s requirement that all members wear masks regardless of vaccination status. After the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated guidance on May 13 to allow vaccinated people to go maskless in most spaces, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., kept the chamber’s mask rules, saying it was unclear how many members had been vaccinated.

“It’s evident now that enforcement of any mask rule has become a partisan, political issue, rather than one grounded in science,” Van Duyne wrote in her appeal.
