On March 2, 2021, Governor Abbott issued Executive Order GA-34.   GA-34 supersedes the governor’s previous executive orders pertaining to state-mandated COVID-19 health protocols.  Specifically, GA-34 rescinds the state mask mandate and other state mandates such as business occupancy limitations. GA-34 will be effective March 10, 2021. Although GA-34 rescinds certain state-mandated COVID-19 health protocols, it provides, “Businesses and other establishments may require customers and employees to follow additional  hygiene measures, including the wearing of a face mask.”  This provision allows the city to require enhanced COVID-19 health protocols at city-owned establishments.
