A lawsuit has been filed against the state of Utah and Salt Lake County over restrictions on mask requirements in schools.

FOX 13 was the first to report on the lawsuit ahead of its filing Monday. The litigation argues that two big bills the legislature passed — House Bill 1007 and Senate Bill 195 — violate the rights of at-risk children in Utah to access a free education under the state constitution. Governor Spencer Cox, Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes and Salt Lake County are being named in the lawsuit (the Utah State Legislature itself cannot be sued) in their official capacities.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court, involves 12 people who have formed a coalition to challenge Utah’s laws on K-12 masking. They include Ashley Weitz, who is suing on behalf of her 7-year-old child, Ezra.
