I ran across this news thread today and wondered what the Kentucky haunters thought about it. They mention masks specifically, but with face painting, latex appliances, etc this would seem to have significant impact on halloween and haunts in particular.

HUSTONVILLE — Hustonville City Council has passed first readings of five ordinances aimed at curtailing certain behaviors within city limits, but the city has refused to release the text of the ordinances to the public.
The ordinances were read aloud by Mayor Marc Spivey at the city’s Aug. 7 regularly scheduled meeting. Ordinances 54 and 55 would impose fines for jaywalking and parking illegally, respectively.
Ordinance 56 would make “shielding of a person’s face to where the person cannot be recognized or identified” illegal within city limits unless the outside temperature is cold enough that face protection is needed. There is also an exception for children 15 and under to wear costumes during trick or treat, Spivey said.
“I don’t think adults need to be walking in our city with masks on,” he said. “Something could happen and we could not make a positive identification in the commission of a crime.”
Ordinance 57, which Spivey said concerned “crowd control,” would ban “formation of any type of line and/or congregating on the sidewalks, streets or any other public property.”
“I don’t feel that they need to have this type (of thing) going on,” Spivey said.
