RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina House voted against a bill that would've banned mask-wearing in public Wednesday.
The Senate passed it last week as part of an effort to crack down on people who wear masks at protests so they can commit crimes.
Lawmakers in the House worried it went too far, saying the law may be unfairly enforced against people who wear masks for health concerns.
Leaders in the House and Senate will soon meet to try to iron out a compromise.
