reimposes
Puts back on
Reimposes means to impose again—to restore or reinstate a requirement, restriction, or condition that had been lifted or suspended.
Governments reimpose sanctions, courts reimpose sentences, and authorities reimpose curfews: The city reimposed mask mandates as cases surged.
The prefix re- emphasizes that this isn't new but a return to previous conditions.
