Subject: RE: [Oama] Failure to Pay Warants
As to enforcement of the EO mandates re: restaurants and bars, it appears to me that the Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management would have to issue an order or regulation identical to the Governor's regarding closure of restaurants and bars, etc. in paragraphs 25 & 26 of the Governor's EO to make the order/regulation enforceable under the Oklahoma Emergency Management Act 63 O.S. 683.23. Next, police departments and/or the local Health Dept. would have to be able issue some kind of state citation, not a COT citation, for such a violation, and, then we would have to contact the DA's Office to ask if they would prosecute the misdemeanor if TPD or the Health Dept issued a state citation. A lot of "ifs" and I doubt anyone has thought that far down at the Gov's Office.

My understanding is that the latest update to E.O. requires all state employees and persons on state property to wear masks while at work, and places statewide restrictions on restaurants and bars. See paragraphs 24, 25 and 26 in the Executive Order below.

So I don't think cities will be enforcing the mask mandate portion of the order.

What authority does cities have to enforce the Governor's mask mandate. Can bars be issued tickets?
