What does this amendment do?

This amendment narrows the scope of the bill by specifying that the face covering discrimination prohibitions apply only to COVID-19-related coverings.

Removes the word 'typically' from the definition of 'face covering' on page 2, changing the definition to read 'a mask or protective covering for the mouth and nose worn to reduce the spread of COVID-19' without the qualifier 'typically'. (Page 2, line 18)
Adds 'for COVID-19 purposes' after 'covering' in the section prohibiting refusal of services based on face covering status, limiting the prohibition to COVID-19-related face coverings specifically. (Page 3, line 13)
Adds 'for COVID-19 purposes' after 'covering' in the section prohibiting publication or advertising of face covering requirements, limiting the prohibition to COVID-19-related requirements specifically. (Page 3, line 20)
