Despite certain pushback, Sabatini has made it very clear that he will not back down. The Republican representative openly maintains that he plans on taking lawsuits against face mask ordinances to the Florida Supreme Court.

In Georgia, localities have attempted to mandate face coverings; however, Gov. Brian Kemp quickly shut this down by reminding the state that such mandates are legally unenforceable.
