Dallas County Mandates Businesses Require Face Masks

On June 19 Dallas County announced that effective June 19, 2020 at 11:59pm, all commercial entities in Dallas County providing goods or services directly to the public must develop and implement a health and safety policy. The Health and Safety Policy must require, at a minimum, that all employees or visitors to the commercial entity’s business premises or other facilities wear face coverings. Commercial entities must post the Health and Safety Policy required by the Executive Order, which was approved by Dallas County Commissioners at a Special Meeting today, in a conspicuous location sufficient to provide notice to employees and visitors of all health and safety requirements.

 

Failure to develop and implement the Health and Safety Policy required by the order within five calendar days following the Effective Date may result in a fine not to exceed $500 for each violation.
