Operative words

2. Executive Order 20-66 (County Risk Framework). Executive Order 20-66, the successor of my original "Stay Home, Save Lives" and "Safe and Strong Oregon" orders, which contains the authorities for the statewide mask mandate and business and other sector capacity and physical distancing restrictions, among other pandemic-related restrictions, is rescinded, as of the Effective Date. 3. Executive Order 20-22 (Non-urgent Healthcare Procedures). Executive Order 20-22 is rescinded, as of the Effective Date. 4. Executive Order 21-06 (K-12 Schools). Executive Order 21-06 is rescinded, as of the Effective Date.... 5. Executive Order 20-28 (Higher Education)... is rescinded, as of the Effective Date. 6. a. Executive Order 20-19 (Childcare Facilities). Executive Order 20-19 is rescinded, as of the Effective Date. b. Ordering Additional Flexibility through September 1, 2021.... 7.... I find that although we have reached the point where using emergency authorities to impose statewide pandemic-related business and public health restrictions to control the spread of Covid-19 is no longer necessary or advisable, the ongoing threat from Covid-19 and the needs associated with Oregon's ongoing efforts to respond to and recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic constitute an ongoing statewide emergency. Thus, effective today, June 25, 2021, I hereby extend Executive Order 20-03, and the state of emergency declared therein, for the duration of this Executive Order... 11. Duration. This Executive Order shall remain in effect until December 31, 2021, unless extended or terminated earlier by the Governor.

Enforcement

ORS 401.192 full force and effect of law

Notes

The instrument that ended Oregon's general business restrictions. Its own words confirm that the risk framework carried 'the statewide mask mandate and business and other sector capacity and physical distancing restrictions' until 12:01 a.m. June 30, 2021, the last day of 2021 Q2.
