President Joe Biden’s administration on Sept. 9 doubled the fines for people who are caught violating the federal mask mandate in effect at airports and on some modes of public transportation.
The fees, previously ranging from $250 for first-time offenders to up to $1,500 for repeat offenders, will now be $500 and up for people caught violating the mandate for the first time and up to $3,000 for people caught violating it more than once.
