A fully vaccinated frequent traveler wants the U.S. District Court here to vacate what he argues is an illegal and unconstitutional mask mandate enforced by the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority, which operates the regional LYNX bus system.
Lucas Wall, 44, of Washington, D.C., filed a legal brief this evening against LYNX asserting numerous reasons why its mask policy must be found unlawful including that it violates the privacy clause of the Florida Constitution, an executive order banning mask mandates issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis, and a new state law that took effect July 1 allowing the governor to overrule any state or local governmental agency’s dictate for people to cover their faces. LYNX asked the court July 6 to dismiss the case.
