The Huntington Beach City Council voted Tuesday night to ban implementing COVID-19 vaccine and mask requirements in the city.
As a new wave of COVID-19 infections hits the region, the Huntington Beach City Council voted this week to ban the implementation of COVID vaccine and mask requirements in the city.
The City Council approved the motion, which was introduced by Mayor Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark, in a 4-3 vote during a Tuesday meeting. The motion asserted that the mask mandates that were previously imposed in the city “unnecessarily limited the freedoms of the citizens of Huntington Beach, even those who were not around anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 or at risk of any exposure.” The ban applies to city personnel and not to private businesses in the city.
The motion also requires the city manager to go back to the council at the next meeting declaring the city a “no mask and no vaccine mandate city.”“Individuals, whether at City Hall or in the private sector, should have a right to choose whether to wear a mask or get vaccinated or boosted,” according to the motion.
