The office of Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) confirmed late Wednesday students and employees of the state\u2019s K-12 schools who refuse to wear masks in the buildings may be faced with a misdemeanor charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the standard for any violation of a public health order, Lehnardt added. And it can be punished with a sentence of up to six months in jail<\/a> and a fine of up to $1,000. That is the same level of charge, for example, as a first offense for driving drunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n —REPEAL THESE STATUTES AMERICA<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The office of Utah Gov.
