Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson signed a law Thursday to
ban state or local masks mandates to prevent the spread of the coronavirus,
though the ban won't take effect until later this summer.
Last month, Hutchinson stepped down from the state mandate,
but cities like Fayetteville and Little Rock were allowed to keep his
requirements in place.
The bill is the latest measure the Republican governor has
signed to curb state restrictions due to the pandemic. Hutchinson signed bills
Wednesday that prohibit state and local governments from requiring virus
vaccines or "vaccine passports" to access services.
