This administrative order applies regardless of whether a county's county commissioners have exercised authority granted by K.S.A. 48-925 as amended by 2020 Spec. Sess. House Bill 2016, Sec. 33(h).... masks are required in nonpublic court offices where two or more individuals are present, unless physical shields are in place
Enforcement
