The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, or J-CAR, meets Tuesday in Springfield, and one issue the 12-member panel of state lawmakers could discuss is the mask and social distancing emergency rule. Gov. J.B. Pritzker filed the rule after the previous one expired last week. The rule is in effect until June unless the governor repeals it, or J-CAR blocks it. It requires businesses to enforce masks and social distancing, or they could face fines.
