Unconstitutional Proclamations by Louisiana Governor Bell Edwards


"LDH and the State Fire Marshal received complaints on July 21 and July 22 indicating that the restaurant had posted notices on its front door and on social media saying it was not requiring the wearing of masks or face coverings by employees or customers.

An LDH inspection on July 27 confirmed the presence of the described front door sign and that Firehouse BBQ was not requiring employees or customers to wear masks or face coverings. Upon completion of the inspection and receipt of the inspection report, the owner of Firehouse BBQ made it clear the restaurant would not be complying with the Governor's proclamations."

The Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry, has published his opinion on this matter as unconstitutional and unenforceable.  Furthermore, he warned law enforcement and Fire Marshals in specific that any enforcement actions under color of law may make them personally liable.
