Baker County Circuit Court Judge Matt Shirtcliff on Monday declared all executive orders that Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has issued related to the coronavirus pandemic as “null and void.”
Brown has exceeded her authority by restricting activities, including church services and businesses, for longer than the 28 days the governor is authorized under a state law related to public health emergencies, Shirtcliff said.
The judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement each of the more than 10 executive orders the governor has issued since March 8.
