Gov. Eric Holcomb reversed course Friday the executive order establishing a statewide mask mandate will include no criminal penalty.

Attorney General Curtis Hill released a non-binding opinion that said even the broad emergency powers in state law dont authorize the governor to issue a mask mandate or attach a criminal penalty to it.

The new order says schools can use a teacher's evaluation from last year, or conduct a new one. If it's new, they can't use test scores or observations unless those were done while classes were still meeting in person.

Essential retail businesses, like grocery stores, can stay open. But they must now limit their customers to help observe social distancing guidelines and adjust hours to help accommodate older customers. Things are also changing for non-essential businesses.

Gov. Eric Holcombs first executive order of the year will ease restrictions on hours of service for truck drivers who deliver the fuel.

Among the series of executive actions Trump could sign, one puts a 120-day ban on all refugee admissions and an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees.
