Nassau County, NY just signed off on a mask ban law.
Here's a great summary from NYCLU on your rights:
1/ In Nassau County, you can be stopped by a police officer anywhere in public just because you are wearing a mask.
2/ Police cannot force you to take off your mask or arrest you unless they have reasonable suspicion you are committing a crime.
3/ Health exception applies only to people masking to protect their OWN health, not to protect others.
