Somerset Court, a senior living center in Minot, is challenging an executive order that temporarily shut down cosmetology services within its facility.
An executive order that temporarily closed hair salons last spring as a COVID-19 precaution was unconstitutional and absurd, according to arguments delivered by the attorney for a Minot senior living center and its cosmetologist before the North Dakota Supreme Court Monday.
Somerset Court and Kari Riggin, who operates a hair salon at Somerset as an independent contractor, are challenging Gov. Doug Burgum’s March 27 executive order, which had been extended through April 30. Riggin was cited for violating the order April 14.
