In early September, 18 Arkansas lawmakers and seven citizens filed a lawsuit against Arkansas Secretary of Health Jose Romero to take control of the COVID-19 public health emergency the governor declared in March. The declaration, which has been extended through the end of the year, resulted in a list of protective directives and mandates issued by the governor in collaboration with the Department of Health.
