Bill H.393 aims to prohibit all educational institutions, including public schools, independent schools, postsecondary schools, tutorial programs, and approved education programs, from requiring or mandating the wearing of face masks by students, employees, or the public as a condition for in-person attendance. The bill also establishes a private right of action for individuals who suffer damage, loss, or injury due to violations of this prohibition, allowing them to seek damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees in the Civil Division of the Superior Court.

Additionally, the bill amends the emergency powers of the Governor, stipulating that any measures or directions given to state or local boards of health during an emergency must comply with the new prohibition on mask mandates. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
