Collier County commissioners passed a mask mandate Tuesday by a vote of 3-2 during an emergency meeting to reconsider last week’s failed ordinance.

Commissioner Penny Taylor, who on July 14 voted against the mandate, requested the board reconsider requiring face coverings in public places, such as government buildings and businesses.
