Operative words
(2) Cities may, upon consultation with my office and ADH, issue a local ordinance to require the use of face coverings to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in a manner that does not exceed the following: a. Local law enforcement and other city officials will act in a support capacity to local businesses that wish to enforce the use of face coverings upon their premises;... c. Local law enforcement and other city officials will act in a support capacity to educate individuals who decline to comply with the face covering requirement of any local business, that the individual must abide by the local business' mandate or leave the premises... (3)... Reasonable requirements for individuals to wear face coverings shall not be considered an impediment to commerce. I, upon consultation with the Secretary of Health, have approved a sample ordinance drafted by the Arkansas Municipal League, which is attached to this Order. (4) Cities shall not impose any measure that is less restrictive than a directive or guideline issued by the Secretary of Health, in consultation with the Governor. (5) The provisions of this order shall supersede those contained in Section Five (5) of Executive Order 20-37.
Enforcement
Municipal ordinances under the attached Arkansas Municipal League model ordinance; local officials in a 'support capacity' to businesses enforcing face coverings
