Nassau County lawmakers passed the Mask Transparency Act , with 12 Republicans voting in favor of it and seven Democrats abstaining.

The bill was introduced after a series of anti-Semitic attacks, authorities said were often carried out by masked individuals.

Supporters of the ban argue that people who wear face coverings for religious or health reasons will not be punished under the law.
