GeorgiaĀ Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday signed a bill giving parents the option to choose against masking their children atĀ school.
Dubbed theĀ Unmask Georgia Students Act, the Republican-backed bill passed the state legislature on a largely party-line vote. It states that school officials should not impose anyĀ maskĀ mandate on students, unless they make sure parents who donāt want their children to wear masks have an option to opt out without needing to provide a reason.
The new law takes effect immediately and will last for five years until June 30, 2027…
