Operative words
Relator's emergency motion for temporary relief, filed August 23, 2021, is granted. The order on Appellees' Rule 29.3 Emergency Motion for Temporary Order to Maintain Temporary Injunction in Effect Pending Disposition of Interlocutory Appeal... dated August 19, 2021, is stayed pending further order of this Court... This case, and others like it, are not about whether people should wear masks or whether the government should make them do it. Rather, these cases ask courts to determine which government officials have the legal authority to decide what the government's position on such questions will be. The status quo, for many months, has been gubernatorial oversight of such decisions at both the state and local levels.
Notes
From this date GA-38 was enforceable against the local mask instruments; the instruments themselves remained issued.
