Broward County Emergency Order 20-18
Broward County Administrator’s Emergency Order 20-18 establishes penalties for businesses failing to follow mask orders.
The new Order states:
• Establishments cited for operating in violation of any County Emergency Order shall immediately close for a minimum 24-hour period.
• They may reopen after 24 hours, provided they 1) conduct a thorough review of applicable Emergency Orders and take all necessary measures to bring the establishment into compliance and 2) submit and receive notice of acceptance of attestation, under penalty of perjury by the owner, general manager, or chief executive officer of the establishment, emailed to the County at Reopening@Broward.org.
• Once the attestation is received and accepted, the establishment will be inspected by local code enforcement or law enforcement authorities, within five calendar days after reopening, to confirm that the violation has been corrected.
• Any repeat violation by the establishment cited by the applicable code enforcement or law enforcement authority shall be presumed a knowing violation subject to a fine of up to $15,000.
Please review and make sure your offices are in compliance.
