Disability Rights of New York argues the mask ban violates constitutional rights, endangering public health and discriminating against people with disabilities, as emphasized by Timothy A. Clune.
The lawsuit highlights experiences of a plaintiff with cerebral palsy and asthma, fearing harassment and arrest for wearing a mask amidst the ban's enforcement guidelines.
One plaintiff, G.B., expressed concern about arbitrary standards used by police to determine whether someone qualifies for the health exception from the mask mandate.
The lawsuit reflects the broader implications for disabled individuals who rely on masks for health and feel vulnerable under Nassau County's new regulations.
