The record in brief

Missouri's regime was a short, sharp statewide layer (March 13 to June 15, 2020) followed by fifteen months in which the State kept its emergency declaration alive, kept its waivers and its congregate-living reporting order in force, issued advisories rather than mandates, and left every closure, capacity, mask, curfew and gathering rule to counties and cities, which the General Assembly then time-limited in June 2021. Governor Parson declared the emergency by Executive Order 20-02 on March 13, 2020 (Ex. MO-001) and by EO 20-04 (March 18, 2020; Ex. MO-002) vested DHSS and every executive department, board and commission with authority to waive statutes and rules, suspended the telemedicine and motor-carrier hours-of-service statutes and the teacher-certification rules, and thereby created the waiver architecture that ran to August 27, 2021. The DHSS Director's March 24, 2020 waiver (Ex. MO-003) removed local health authorities' power to close food-supply businesses (agriculture, manufacturing, distribution, sale of food) while preserving their power over retail food establishments. The DHSS 'Stay Home Missouri' Order of April 3, 2020 (Ex. MO-004), effective 12:01 a.m. April 6, 2020, ordered every Missouri resident to 'avoid leaving their homes or places of residence,' barred social gatherings of more than ten, imposed six-foot distancing on 'every person and business in the State of Missouri,' capped retail occupancy at 25 percent (under 10,000 sq. ft.) or 10 percent (10,000 sq. ft. or more), prohibited eating or drinking at restaurants, bars and food courts (drive-thru, pickup and delivery excepted), closed schools, barred visits to nursing homes and long-term care facilities, closed all State office buildings to the public, and told offices and workplaces that remained open that individuals shall 'where feasible, work from home in order to achieve optimum isolation from COVID-19.' The April 16, 2020 order (Ex. MO-005) closed schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year and extended the stay-home regime to 11:59 p.m. May 3, 2020. Phase 1 of the 'Show Me Strong Recovery' plan, the DHSS order of April 27, 2020 (Ex. MO-006; effective May 4 to May 31, 2020) and its May 28, 2020 extension (Ex. MO-007; June 1 to 11:59 p.m. June 15, 2020), kept mandatory six-foot distancing for 'every person and business,' kept the 25/10 percent retail occupancy caps, allowed dine-in service only with six feet between tables, no communal seating and no more than ten per table, kept the long-term care visitation bar and kept schools closed. The statewide business restrictions ended when the May 28 order expired at 11:59 p.m. on June 15, 2020 and no successor order issued; the Governor announced 'Phase 2' with no statewide restrictions from June 16, 2020 (Ballotpedia; Husch Blackwell). Missouri never issued a statewide mask order, travel-quarantine order, curfew, capacity order after June 15, 2020, vaccination mandate for health-care workers or State employees, or school masking or quarantine order for 2021-22. What the State did keep in force: the emergency (EO 20-09 to June 15, 2020; EO 20-12 to December 30, 2020; EO 20-19 to March 31, 2021; EO 21-07 to August 31, 2021; Exs. MO-012, -014, -016, -018), the EO 20-04 waivers (DHSS extended every remaining waiver to August 31, 2021 by letter of March 30, 2021, Ex. MO-019), EO 20-05 (restaurants may sell unprepared food; Ex. MO-010), EO 20-08 and EO 20-14 (remote notarization to August 28, 2020; remote witnessing of estate documents from September 3, 2020; Exs. MO-011, -015), the DHSS congregate-living reporting order of May 18, 2020 (Ex. MO-009; 'in effect for the duration of the effective period of the State of Emergency relating to COVID-19'), and the DHSS long-term-care waivers (Ex. MO-027). The winter 2020-21 re-tightening took the form of the DHSS 'State of Missouri Public Health Warning' of November 19, 2020 (Ex. MO-017), an advisory that 'strongly advised' masks in Category 1 counties, set occupancy 'reflective of social distancing' and social groups of ten or less as expectations, advised businesses to encourage telework, and told local governments they 'can establish higher, more stringent standards'; the same day EO 20-19 extended the emergency to March 31, 2021. On August 27, 2021 EO 21-09 (Ex. MO-020) terminated the general emergency and EOs 20-04, 20-05, 20-06 and 20-14, declared a new emergency 'relative to staff shortages in the State's healthcare system and the State's recovery efforts from the COVID-19 public health threat' through December 31, 2021, re-suspended the telemedicine statutes, continued every waiver then in effect (163 approved to continue past August 31, 2021), re-ordered remote witnessing and re-activated the Guard. The operative limits for most Missouri employers after June 15, 2020 were local: St. Louis City and County, Kansas City and Jackson County and, outside those metros, Columbia/Boone County (a continuous chain of Health Director orders from March 21, 2020 through May 12, 2021: stay-home March 25 to April 24 (extended to May 3), 25/10 percent occupancy from May 4, 50 percent from May 26, 100-person event cap from June 23, a face-mask requirement from August 10, 2020, a bar curfew from August 28 and a 10:30 p.m. closing from September 18, 2020 through early 2021, midnight from February 12, 2021, masks and seated service through May 12, 2021; Exs. MO-042 to MO-061), Springfield-Greene County (stay-home March 26 to May 3, 2020; phased reopening May 4; masking ordinance from July 16, 2020; Ex. MO-041) and Christian County (gathering limits from March 17, stay-home from March 25, 2020, mandates converted to recommendations June 15, 2020; Ex. MO-040). The Missouri Supreme Court suspended all in-person proceedings statewide from March 16, 2020 (superseding order March 22, 2020, Ex. MO-024; extended April 1, 2020) and from May 4, 2020 governed every court's in-person operations through phased 'Operational Directives.' Sector regulators acted: the Gaming Commission closed every riverboat casino from midnight March 17 through May 31, 2020 (Ex. MO-026); the Division of Professional Registration and its boards (dental, cosmetology) closed to walk-in visitors from March 23, 2020 and issued reopening protocols (Exs. MO-028, -029); the Department of Commerce and Insurance issued Bulletins 20-05, 20-07 and 20-10 (Exs. MO-030 to -032). In 2021 the General Assembly enacted HB 271 (RSMo 67.265, effective June 15, 2021; Ex. MO-021): a local order that 'directly or indirectly closes, partially closes, or places restrictions on the opening of or access to any one or more business organizations, churches, schools, or other places of public or private gathering or assembly' during a chapter 44 emergency 'shall not remain in effect for longer than thirty calendar days in a one hundred eighty-day-period' unless extended by a simple majority of the governing body (twenty-one days and a two-thirds vote outside an emergency). Q3 2021 in Missouri therefore consisted of the State emergency (to August 27, 2021) and its successor health-care staffing emergency, the State waivers and reporting order, RSMo 67.265 governing every local order, the Delta-wave mask orders of St. Louis City and County (July 26, 2021), Kansas City (August 2, 2021) and Jackson County (metro files), school-district mask requirements, the Attorney General's suits against the St. Louis orders (filed July 26, 2021), and the federal layer.

The six quarters

What the record shows in force in Missouri on the first day and the last day of each quarter. Every exhibit named here opens its record. The orders of March 13 to 31, 2020 belong to the second quarter of 2020, because wages paid after March 12, 2020 fall in that quarter.

The end of general restrictions

The day the general business restrictions ended in Missouri, the instrument that ended them, and what the record shows still in force afterward. The end of the general orders is not the end of the record: sector rules, standing duties and the federal layer continue past it.

End of general restrictions

June 15, 2020

2020-06-15 (11:59 p.m.); Phase 2 from 2020-06-16

Instrument Expiration of the DHSS Director's Order of May 28, 2020 (Phase 1 extension, Ex. MO-007) at 11:59 p.m. on June 15, 2020, with no successor statewide order; Governor Parson announced Phase 2 ('completely lifts statewide restrictions and health orders') effective June 16, 2020

What remained in force

The state of emergency (EO 20-02 as extended by EO 20-12 to Dec. 30, 2020, EO 20-19 to Mar. 31, 2021, EO 21-07 to Aug. 31, 2021; terminated Aug. 27, 2021 by EO 21-09, which declared a health-care staffing emergency through Dec. 31, 2021); the EO 20-04 waiver architecture and every DHSS, DCI, DPS, DSS, DOLIR, OA and professional-board waiver issued under it (extended to Aug. 31, 2021 by the DHSS letter of Mar. 30, 2021 and continued by EO 21-09); EO 20-05 (restaurants selling unprepared food) to Aug. 27, 2021; EO 20-08 remote notarization to Aug. 28, 2020 and EO 20-14 remote witnessing from Sept. 3, 2020 (re-ordered in EO 21-09); the DHSS congregate-living reporting order of May 18, 2020 for the duration of the emergency; the DHSS long-term care waivers; the Missouri Supreme Court's Operational Directives governing in-person court operations; the Nov. 19, 2020 DHSS Public Health Warning (advisory); and every county and municipal order (St. Louis City and County, Kansas City, Jackson, Clay and Platte Counties, Columbia/Boone County, Springfield, Christian County and others), which from June 15, 2021 were subject to RSMo 67.265.

Preemption of local orders

Missouri did not preempt local orders in 2020; it invited them. Every DHSS statewide order carried the savings clause: 'nothing herein shall limit the right of local authorities to make such further ordinances, rules, regulations, and orders not inconsistent with this Order which may be necessary for the particular locality under the jurisdiction of such local authorities' (Exs. MO-004, -006, -007). The one 2020 preemption was the DHSS Director's March 24, 2020 waiver of 19 CSR 20-20.040 and 20-20.050 'to the extent necessary to remove the authority of a local health authority from closing or restricting the operations of a business which is a part of the food supply, whether that be agricultural production, manufacturing, distribution, or sale of food,' expressly not limiting local authority over 'a retail food establishment' (Ex. MO-003). The Nov. 19, 2020 DHSS Warning restated the model: 'the State of Missouri government provides a baseline of public health standards and expectations. Local communities can establish higher, more stringent standards above the State's public health advisory baseline' (Ex. MO-017). In 2021 the State turned against local orders: the Attorney General sued St. Louis County over its Safer-at-Home regime (Missouri ex rel. Schmitt v. Page, St. Louis County Circuit Court, filed May 11, 2021; the County rescinded most restrictions May 14, 2021) and sued St. Louis City and County over the July 26, 2021 mask reinstatement (Schmitt v. Page, filed July 26, 2021; removed to and remanded from the E.D. Mo. Aug. 1, 2021) (Ballotpedia, verified_secondary); HB 271 (RSMo 67.265, effective June 15, 2021; Ex. MO-021) limited every local closure, restriction or gathering order to thirty days in a 180-day period during a chapter 44 emergency (twenty-one days outside one) unless the political subdivision's governing body votes to extend it (simple majority during an emergency; two-thirds otherwise), let governing bodies terminate any order by simple majority, required health officials to furnish supporting reports before issuing or extending orders, and barred political subdivisions from circumventing the limits; EO 21-09 (Aug. 27, 2021) recited that Missouri had responded 'without the issuance of any statewide mandates'; EO 21-10 (Oct. 28, 2021; post-period; Ex. MO-022) directed State agencies to oppose federal vaccine mandates; and on Nov. 22, 2021 (post-period) the Cole County Circuit Court in Robinson v. DHSS held the DHSS regulations under 19 CSR 20-20 that authorized local health-officer orders invalid, which DHSS reported to every local public health agency on Nov. 30, 2021 (Ex. MO-023). None of the 2021 measures reached back: every local order in force through June 14, 2021 operated under the 2020 savings clause, and every local order from June 15 through Sept. 30, 2021 operated under RSMo 67.265, which governs duration and approval, not existence.

Third quarter of 2021

Standing duties

The statutes, codes and penalty provisions of Missouri that stood before March 2020 and ran through every claimable quarter. They are the reason nothing an employer did under the orders was voluntary. Read the Missouri duties →

Missouri bound its employers through four standing layers of law that existed before March 2020 and ran through every claimable quarter. First, the communicable-disease law of chapter 192. RSMo 192.020.1 makes it 'the general duty and responsibility of the department of health and senior services to safeguard the health of the people in the state and all its subdivisions' and commands the Department to 'make and enforce adequate orders, findings, rules and regulations to prevent the spread of' the diseases it designates (Ex. DUT-MO-001); RSMo 192.290 makes every Department rule one that 'shall be observed throughout the state and enforced by all local and state health authorities' while preserving the right of local authorities to make 'further ordinances, rules and regulations' (Ex. DUT-MO-002); RSMo 192.300 authorizes county commissions and county health center boards to 'make and promulgate orders, ordinances, rules or regulations' to 'enhance the public health and prevent the entrance of infectious, contagious, communicable or dangerous diseases' and makes '[a]ny person, firm, corporation or association which violates any of the orders or ordinances' guilty of a misdemeanor (Ex. DUT-MO-003); and RSMo 192.320 makes '[a]ny person or persons violating any of the provisions of sections 192.010, 192.020 to 192.490' or who 'evades or breaks quarantine' guilty of a class A misdemeanor (Ex. DUT-MO-004), punishable by up to one year's imprisonment and a fine of up to two thousand dollars (Exs. DUT-MO-016, DUT-MO-017). The Department's rule, 19 CSR 20-20.040, made it 'the duty of the local health authority, the director of the department, or the director's designated representative' to '[e]stablish appropriate control measures which may include isolation, quarantine, disinfection, immunization, closure of establishment... the creation and enforcement of adequate orders to prevent the spread of the disease,' and 19 CSR 20-20.050(3) 'empowered' those officers 'to close any public or private school or other place of public or private assembly' (Ex. DUT-MO-007, the text as published December 31, 2019). Every statewide COVID-19 order in the library recites this authority: 'pursuant to the authority granted under section 192.020, RSMo, and 19 CSR 20-20.040' (Exs. MO-004, MO-006, MO-007), and each directs local public health authorities 'to carry out and enforce the provisions of this Order by any legal means.' Second, the emergency-management act. RSMo 44.100 makes the Governor's emergency powers operative during a proclaimed emergency (Executive Order 20-02, Ex. MO-001, through August 27, 2021, Ex. MO-020) and commands him to 'give directions to state and local law enforcement officers and agencies as may be reasonable and necessary for the purpose of securing compliance with... the orders, rules and regulations made pursuant thereof' (Ex. DUT-MO-005); RSMo 44.130.2 makes '[a]ny person violating any rule or regulation adopted under this law after it has become effective during an emergency' guilty of a misdemeanor (Ex. DUT-MO-006). Third, the workplace duty. Missouri has no State OSHA plan for private employers; 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1) bound every Missouri employer directly (Ex. DUT-AL-009, the library's exhibit of the general duty clause). Missouri law adds its own commands: RSMo 292.300 requires 'every employer of labor in this state engaged in carrying on any work, trade or process... which subjects the employee to the danger of illness or disease incident to such work' to 'adopt and provide approved and effective devices, means or methods for the prevention of such industrial or occupational diseases' (Ex. DUT-MO-008); RSMo 292.180 authorizes the State's inspection section to act whenever 'the heating, lighting, ventilation or sanitary arrangements of any establishment where labor is employed is such as to be dangerous to the health or safety of employees' (Ex. DUT-MO-009); and the Supreme Court of Missouri, sitting en banc, restated 'the employer's nondelegable duty to provide a safe workplace' as the common law of the State (Peters v. Wady Industries, Inc., 489 S.W.3d 784 (Mo. banc 2016), Ex. DUT-MO-010). Fourth, the liability regime. Until August 28, 2021 no Missouri statute shielded a business from a COVID-19 exposure suit; the ordinary negligence standard governed, and the measure of ordinary care for an employer or an occupier of premises was the conduct the health orders, the Department's guidance and the CDC's guidance prescribed. Senate Bills 51 and 42, approved July 7, 2021 and effective August 28, 2021, then created a statutory COVID-19 exposure action in which no business 'shall be liable... unless the plaintiff can prove by clear and convincing evidence' recklessness or willful misconduct, with, in the statute's words, 'a rebuttable presumption of an assumption of risk' for a business that posts the statutory warning sign (Exs. DUT-MO-011, DUT-MO-012); Fifth, the sanitary code: 19 CSR 20-1.025 commands that '[f]ood establishments shall comply with' the Missouri Food Code (Ex. DUT-MO-013), and 19 CSR 20-20.060 bars any person with a communicable disease or its listed symptoms from engaging in food handling (within Ex. DUT-MO-007). The orders themselves wrote their conditions in the imperative: 'every person and business in the State of Missouri shall abide by social distancing requirements, including maintaining six feet (6') of space between individuals'; every retailer 'shall limit the number of individuals in any particular retail location' to 25 or 10 percent of occupancy; '[f]or offices and workplaces that remain open, individuals shall practice good hygiene and, where feasible, work from home'; restaurants 'may offer dining-in services, provided that the limitations on social distancing and other precautionary public health measures... are properly adhered to' (Exs. MO-004, MO-006, MO-007). Where the State chose a recommendation it said so ('should,' 'strongly encouraged,' 'is encouraged'), and the Phase I FAQ (Ex. MO-008) stated the structure in one sentence: 'This Order establishes the minimum requirements that must be complied with statewide.' Two federal courts described the regime while it ran: the Eastern District of Missouri refused to enjoin the St. Louis City and County closure orders because '[g]overnment authorities must have the ability to maintain public health and safety in times of great crises such as these' (SH3 Health Consulting, LLC v. Page, No. 4:20-cv-00605-SRC, Doc. 27 (E.D. Mo. May 8, 2020), Ex. DUT-MO-014), and the Eighth Circuit, on July 30, 2021, recorded the unbroken chain of St. Louis County public health orders from April 2020 to the Face Covering Order of July 26, 2021 (Hawse v. Page, No. 20-1960 (8th Cir. July 30, 2021), Ex. DUT-MO-015). The measures a Missouri employer took to distance, screen, sanitize, mask, telework and reduce occupancy were the means of complying with duties the law imposed; the word 'voluntary' does not describe them.

The question these duties answer

Whether the measures Missouri employers took beyond the words of the emergency orders were 'voluntary' within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were compelled by standing legal duties that bound employers independent of, and in addition to, the orders already in the Orders Library.
