"Hoodies should be illegal", sez party of "small government".

[Jenny A]

The bill linked would make it illegal to:

To wear a mask, hood or covering, which conceals the identity of the wearer during the commission of a crime or for the
purpose of coercion, intimidation or harassment

Note that for wearing a hood to be a crime it must conceal the identity of the wearer AND be wore during the commission of a crime, or for the purpose of coercion, intimidation, or harassment.

Something like that has been on the books in Oklahoma since the 1920s when it was aimed at the KKK. A number of states have such laws.

The second part of the bill, which really is new, makes it illegal more generally for a person

To intentionally conceal his or her identity in a public
place by means of a robe, mask, or other disguise.

Hoods are not included in this second more general clause.

The bill then lists a number of exceptions including: Halloween pranks by children, masquerade parties, parades, protection from the weather, religious gear, medical gear, sporting groups, and plays.

It appears wearing your superman outfit to work might be a crime, but wearing a hoodie wouldn't be.
