Operative words
Although Pima County Resolution 2020-96 requiring face coverings conflicts with Governor Ducey's statements in Executive Order 2021-06, the Pima County Resolution is not likely preempted under Executive Order 2021-06. This is because the preemption clause in Executive Order 2021-06 rests its authority exclusively on A.R.S. 26-307, but Resolution 2020-96 cites independent authority outside of Title 26.
Enforcement
Advisory; recognizes ADHS rulemaking as the route to preempt county mask rules
Notes
Establishes that county face-covering resolutions grounded in Title 36 authority remained enforceable after EO 2021-06 in the Attorney General's view.
