Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson has filed a lawsuit against Douglas County Health Director Lindsay Huse and other county and city officials challenging Huse's indoor mask mandate for Omaha.
Other plaintiffs in the suit are the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and Director of Public Health Dr. Gary Anthone. The suit says Huse's authority to issue a mask mandate under Omaha's municipal code "conflicts with applicable state law."
Douglas County District Court Judge Shelly Stratman has scheduled a hearing for 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 24. It initially was scheduled for this coming Tuesday.
The mandate will remain in effect until the judge rules otherwise or until Huse deems it no longer necessary.
