On June 26, the House and Senate passed House Bill 806, one that would allow opening fitness centers, including yoga and CrossFit studios.
If the bill sitting on Cooper’s desk is passed, it would allow fitness centers to reopen at 40 percent capacity.
Employees must pass a health screening. All equipment must be cleaned frequently and people in group classes must be at least 6 feet apart.
Cooper vetoed a similar bill earlier in June. The House could not override that veto last week.
Gyms in South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and many others in the nation are back open.
Cooper has 10 days to sign or veto the bill. If he does nothing, the bill will go into effect without his signature.
