Disability Rights of New York files federal lawsuit challenging Nassau County's mask ban as unconstitutional and discriminatory.

Disability Rights of New York has filed a federal class action lawsuit on behalf of individuals with disabilities, challenging Nassau County's ban on masks in public spaces. The lawsuit, claiming the law is unconstitutional and discriminatory, seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of the county's Mask Transparency Act. The plaintiffs argue that the mask ban poses a direct threat to public health and discriminates against people with disabilities who often wear masks for protection.
