Operative words

'Business' as used herein shall mean any commercial, for-profit entity (regardless of corporate structure or formation), or non-profit entity or organization that provides goods or services directly to the public. 'Business' as used herein does not include any location under the control of the School District of Hillsborough County... in order to be consistent with the EPG Executive Order, as amended and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, and to further address the requirements, conditions and exceptions for wearing face coverings, it is therefore again necessary to revise and replace City of Tampa Executive Order 2020-30 in its entirety with this Order
