Seeking to end a federal government mandate that requires people using public transportation to wear masks, Florida’s attorney general filed a lawsuit on March 29 representing 21 states that want the order halted.

The 14-month mask mandate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is “unlawful,” attorney general Ashley Moody and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) told reporters at a press conference at the state Capitol.
