A Baldwin City mother’s challenge to Douglas County’s mask mandate for children has failed in court. Douglas County Judge Kay Huff recently ruled against Marie Taylor’s petition against the county’s health order, which argued that the order’s 90-day mandate was too long and must be reconsidered every 30 days. The petition was filed under the state’s new law, Senate Bill 40, which allows residents to challenge public health orders related to the coronavirus pandemic. Taylor’s challenge was considered by the Douglas County District Court, even though the law itself is in limbo and its legality is currently being considered by the Kansas Supreme Court.
