"This mask ban poses a direct threat to public health and discriminates against people with disabilities," Timothy A. Clune, executive director of the rights organization, said in a statement.
"While in public and private places, strangers have come up to G.B. since August 5, 2024, to ask them if they are sick, if they are healthy or not, and to ask why they are wearing a facemask," according to the lawsuit.
"G.B. fears that they will be arrested just for wearing a facemask for their health because there is no standard for the police to follow to decide if they meet the health exception or not," according to the lawsuit.
"G.B. is also concerned that they will be harassed, discriminated against, or even assaulted by people... in Nassau County for just going about their day with a mask on."
