The record in brief

Oregon's regime was Governor-driven and statewide, executed through a chain of executive orders under ORS 401.165 to 401.236 and ORS 433.441, each reciting that its directives 'have the full force and effect of law' and that inconsistent laws, ordinances, rules and orders are 'inoperative' (ORS 401.192(1)), each enforceable as a public health law under ORS 431A.010 (civil penalties to $500 per day per violation) and as a Class C misdemeanor under ORS 401.990 (30 days or $1,250), and from November 2020 backed by two regulators with their own binding instruments: Oregon OSHA (OAR 437-001-0744, the all-workplace COVID-19 rule, Nov. 16, 2020 onward) and the Oregon Health Authority (binding sector guidance under EO 20-65 and 20-66; temporary administrative rules in OAR ch. 333, div. 19 from Aug. 2, 2021). RUN-UP AND 2020 Q2. EO 20-03 (Mar. 8, 2020) declared the emergency. EO 20-05 (Mar. 12) barred gatherings of 250 or more; EO 20-07 (Mar. 17, 5:00 p.m.) barred on-premises consumption at every restaurant, bar and similar establishment statewide and gatherings of 25 or more; EO 20-08 (Mar. 17) closed public schools to students from Mar. 16; EO 20-09 (Mar. 19) barred in-person instruction at colleges from Mar. 21; EO 20-10 (Mar. 19) ordered every elective and non-urgent procedure using PPE in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient clinics, dental clinics and veterinary clinics cancelled or rescheduled no earlier than June 15, 2020; EO 20-11 (Mar. 22) and EO 20-13 (Apr. 1) imposed residential and then commercial eviction moratoria; EO 20-12 (Mar. 23), 'Stay Home, Save Lives,' ordered individuals to stay home 'to the maximum extent possible,' prohibited non-essential gatherings 'regardless of size' where six feet could not be kept, closed a list of forty business categories from 12:01 a.m. Mar. 24 (salons, gyms, malls, theaters, museums, furniture and jewelry stores, spas, skating rinks, ski resorts and more), prohibited every other retail business from operating unless it designated an officer to 'establish, implement, and enforce social distancing policies,' and from Mar. 25 ordered that 'all businesses and non-profit entities with offices in Oregon shall facilitate telework and work-at-home by employees, to the maximum extent possible. Work in offices is prohibited whenever telework and work-at-home options are available'; it closed licensed child care except emergency child care in stable groups of ten (carried forward by EO 20-19, Apr. 23), closed campgrounds, pools, courts and playgrounds, and directed individuals to minimize travel. The Chief Justice imposed Level 3 restrictions on every State court (CJO 20-006, Mar. 16, amended Mar. 27: jury and bench trials postponed to June 1 with narrow exceptions; essential proceedings only, by remote means where feasible). DCBS ordered every insurer to grant premium grace periods, suspend cancellations and non-renewals and extend claim deadlines (Mar. 25; extended Apr. 23; line-specific orders from May 6 and May 22). EO 20-20 (Apr. 23) prohibited in-person classroom instruction at public and private schools through June 30; EO 20-17 (Apr. 17) extended the college prohibition to June 13. EO 20-22 (Apr. 27) let procedures resume from May 1 only in compliance with OHA guidance. EO 20-25 (May 14) rescinded EO 20-07 and 20-12 but carried the stay-home direction, the closure list, the no-on-premises-dining rule, the 25/10 gathering caps and the telework prohibition forward as 'baseline requirements' statewide until a county was approved for Phase I (28 counties May 15; Washington County June 1; Multnomah June 19); Phase I allowed gatherings of 25 and reopened restaurants, personal care, gyms and malls under OHA sector guidance. EO 20-27 (June 5) replaced it, kept the baseline telework prohibition, made compliance with OHA 'face coverings guidance' mandatory, and added Phase II (gatherings 50 indoor/100 outdoor). 2020 Q3. EO 20-27 governed all quarter; the OHA face-covering requirement reached seven counties June 24, every indoor public space statewide July 1, outdoor spaces within six feet July 15 (the July 24, 2020 version is Ex. OR-025) and all public and private office spaces Aug. 13; indoor social gatherings were capped at 10 statewide from July 15; EO 20-29 (June 24, effective July 1) allowed K-12 in-person instruction only under OHA/ODE metrics, and most districts opened the 2020-21 year in Comprehensive Distance Learning; courts ran under CJO 20-016 (Level 2 in Phase One districts, Level 3 elsewhere; jury trials postponed to July 1). EO 20-37 (Aug. 31) extended the foreclosure moratorium to Dec. 31; EO 20-56 (Sept. 30) re-imposed a residential eviction moratorium through Dec. 31, 2020; HB 4213 (June 30) had codified the moratorium with a repayment grace period. 2020 Q4 AND THE WINTER RE-TIGHTENING. The Governor's 'Two-Week Pause' (Nov. 11-25; five counties) cut restaurants and indoor activities to 50 people and gatherings to six; Oregon OSHA's temporary COVID-19 rule took effect Nov. 16 for every workplace (six-foot workflow design, masks, sanitation, risk assessment and infection-control plan by Dec. 7, training by Dec. 21, ventilation by Jan. 6, 24-hour exposure notification, medical removal); EO 20-65, the 'Two-Week Freeze' (Nov. 18-Dec. 2), closed gyms, museums, venues, zoos and indoor recreation, limited restaurants to take-out 'inside or outside,' capped grocery, retail and malls at 75 percent, limited gatherings to six people from two households and faith services to 25 indoors, and re-imposed the telework prohibition; EO 20-66 (Dec. 2, effective Dec. 3) installed the four-level County Risk framework with OHA's binding sector guidance (Extreme Risk: indoor dining prohibited, gyms and indoor entertainment closed, retail 50 percent, gatherings six, offices closed to in-person work where telework was possible), placed Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas and 26 other counties at Extreme Risk, and directed Oregon OSHA and the OLCC to enforce it. HB 4401 (Dec. 23) extended eviction protection to June 30, 2021. 2021 Q1 AND Q2. EO 20-66 governed through June 29, 2021 with counties cycling between levels every two weeks (Multnomah: Extreme to Feb. 11; High to Mar. 11; Moderate to Apr. 8; High to Apr. 29; Extreme Apr. 30-May 6; High to May 26; Lower from May 27); Oregon OSHA's permanent rule replaced the temporary rule May 4 without a gap; EO 21-06 (Mar. 12) forced schools back to hybrid or on-site instruction by Mar. 29 (K-5) and Apr. 19 (6-12) while requiring a distance-learning option; the emergency was extended Feb. 25 and Apr. 29. END OF GENERAL RESTRICTIONS. EO 21-15 (June 25, 2021), effective 12:01 a.m. June 30, 2021, rescinded EO 20-66 (the risk framework, the statewide mask mandate, capacity and distancing rules), EO 20-22 (procedures), EO 21-06 (schools), EO 20-28 (higher education) and EO 20-19 (child care), and extended the state of emergency to Dec. 31, 2021. Oregon OSHA the same day removed distancing and masking outside health care and transit but kept ventilation, notification, medical-removal, plan and training duties; the foreclosure moratorium ran to Sept. 30 (EO 21-14) and then Dec. 31, 2021 (EO 21-30). 2021 Q3. The Delta wave produced a second, rule-based regime inside the quarter: OAR 333-019-1015 (Aug. 2) required masks in every K-12 school; OAR 333-019-1010 (Aug. 5) required health care workers to vaccinate or test weekly, then (Aug. 25) to vaccinate by Oct. 18; EO 21-29 (Aug. 13) required every executive-branch employee and on-site contractor to be vaccinated by Oct. 18; OAR 333-019-1025 (Aug. 13) required masks in every indoor space including 'public and private workplaces' for everyone five and older regardless of vaccination and made the 'person responsible' ensure employee compliance, extended to crowded outdoor spaces Aug. 27; Oregon OSHA AO 10-2021 (Aug. 13) wrote that rule into every employer's duties; OAR 333-019-1030 (Aug. 25) required school staff and volunteers to vaccinate; CJO 21-039 (Sept. 16) required every judge and court employee to vaccinate by Oct. 1; EO 21-31 (Sept. 1) kept child-care emergency flexibilities alive to Dec. 31. The state of emergency ran through the quarter and beyond (EO 21-36 to June 30, 2022).

What the record shows in force in Oregon 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 Oregon, 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 30, 2021

2021-06-30 (12:01 a.m.; the order's 'Effective Date' was June 30, 2021 or the day 70 percent of adults had one vaccine dose, whichever was earlier)

Instrument Executive Order 21-15 (Governor Kate Brown, June 25, 2021), Ex. OR-043

What remained in force

The COVID-19 state of emergency (EO 20-03 extended by EO 21-15 para. 7 to Dec. 31, 2021, then by EO 21-36 to June 30, 2022); EO 21-15 para. 6(b) child-care emergency flexibilities (to Sept. 1, 2021; extended by EO 21-31 to Dec. 31, 2021); the HB 2009 mortgage foreclosure moratorium as extended by EO 21-14 (to Sept. 30, 2021) and EO 21-30 (to Dec. 31, 2021); Oregon OSHA OAR 437-001-0744 as amended by AO 5-2021 (June 30, 2021): ventilation, 24-hour exposure notification, medical removal and quarantine procedures, exposure risk assessment, infection-control plan and training duties for every workplace, plus distancing and masking in health care and transit, plus the employee's right to wear a mask; masking in health care settings and public transit under OHA guidance and the federal CDC/TSA orders; DMV appointment-only service (masks required on drive tests); then, from Aug. 2, 2021, the OHA temporary rules and EO 21-29 listed in q3_2021_in_force.

Preemption of local orders

Oregon did not bar stricter local orders. Every Governor's order recites that under ORS 401.192(1) its directives 'have the full force and effect of law, and any existing laws, ordinances, rules and orders shall be inoperative to the extent they are inconsistent with this exercise of the Governor's emergency powers' (EO 20-12 at 8; EO 20-25 para. 23; EO 20-27 para. 25; EO 20-66 para. 9): the State displaced weaker local rules, not stricter ones. EO 20-66 para. 8(c) exempted 'local government buildings and operations' only from the office-telework paragraph and required them otherwise to comply with the order, the Risk Level Metrics and OHA guidance; para. 8(d) placed the judicial and legislative branches, the federal government and tribal governments outside the order. EO 20-12 para. 14 and EO 20-25 para. 8(d) 'strongly encouraged' local governments to follow the State's building-closure and telework directives. OAR 333-019-1025(3) (Aug. 13, 2021) states: 'This rule does not prohibit individuals or entities from imposing stricter masking requirements.' Multnomah County's Aug. 9, 2021 indoor-mask rule (effective Aug. 13) preceded the State rule by hours and was withdrawn in favor of it (PDX metro file). County entry into Phase I and Phase II under EO 20-25 and 20-27, and each county's Risk Level under EO 20-66, were fixed by the Governor and OHA, not by the counties; a county could ask to remain at a higher Risk Level (EO 20-66 para. 3(b)(iii)).

Standing duties

The statutes, codes and penalty provisions of Oregon 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 Oregon duties →

Oregon's compulsion ran on four tracks of standing law, each of which predates COVID-19 and each of which the Governor's orders recited as their own foundation. First, the communicable-disease control act: ORS 433.010(1) commands that 'No person shall willfully cause the spread of any communicable disease within this state,' a Class C felony (ORS 433.990(2)); ORS 433.441(3) lets the Governor, in a public health emergency and, by subsection (4), in any ORS 401.165 emergency, 'Close, order the evacuation of or order the decontamination of any facility' and 'Control or limit entry into, exit from, movement within and the occupancy of premises in any public area'; ORS 433.443(2)(a)(C) lets the Public Health Director 'Order, or authorize local public health administrators to order, public health measures appropriate to the public health threat presented,' with civil penalties of $500 per day for knowing non-compliance ((2)(a)(F), (3)); ORS 431A.010(1) gives the Oregon Health Authority and every local public health administrator 'the power to enforce public health laws' by administrative order, civil penalty 'not to exceed $500 a day per violation,' inspection, civil action and referral for prosecution; ORS 431.150, 431.155 and 431.157 command enforcement and authorize injunctions. Every Oregon executive order in the library declared itself and the OHA guidance issued under it to be 'public health laws, as defined in ORS 431A.005,' enforceable 'as permitted under ORS 431A.010' (EO 20-25 para. 24, Ex. OR-017; EO 20-27 para. 26, Ex. OR-020; EO 20-66 para. 10, Ex. OR-035). Second, the emergency-management act: ORS 401.192(1) gives every gubernatorial rule and order 'the full force and effect of law both during and after the declaration of a state of emergency' and makes inconsistent laws, ordinances, rules and orders 'inoperative,' and ORS 401.990 makes knowing violation of any such order a Class C misdemeanor (30 days, $1,250, as the orders recited); the Oregon Court of Appeals held in Along Came Trudy LLC v. OLCC, 330 Or App 295, 304 (2024), rev den, 372 Or 588, that EO 20-66 'had the "full force and effect of law"' and that the OHA guidance it incorporated was enforceable, and affirmed cancellation of a restaurant's liquor license for indoor dining during Extreme Risk; JGB Enterprises, LLC v. OLCC, 325 Or App 326 (2023), and Central Pastime, LLC v. OLCC, 342 Or App 391 (2025), affirmed suspensions for indoor consumption, unenforced masks and unenforced six-foot distancing. Third, the Oregon Safe Employment Act: ORS 654.010 commands that 'Every employer shall furnish employment and a place of employment which are safe and healthful for employees therein... and shall do every other thing reasonably necessary to protect the life, safety and health of such employees'; ORS 654.022 commands that 'Every employer, owner, employee and other person shall obey and comply with every requirement of every order, decision, direction, standard, rule or regulation' of the Department of Consumer and Business Services 'or in any way relating to or affecting safety and health in employments or places of employment'; Oregon OSHA announced on March 27, 2020 that 'All employers in Oregon are required by the Oregon Safe Employment Act (OSEA) to provide a safe and healthful workplace for their employees, regardless of the industry type or job function' and that it 'has the authority to enforce the requirements of the executive order(s) as they relate to potential worker exposure to COVID-19'; it did so (159 citations by June 2, 2021 from roughly 600 enforcement actions and more than 24,500 complaints, including willful citations for violating the on-premises consumption prohibition of the Governor's order in June 2020, before any COVID rule existed), and from November 16, 2020 it bound every workplace by OAR 437-001-0744 (Ex. OR-032, OR-041, OR-044, OR-049), whose paragraph (3)(a) reads 'All employers must ensure' distancing and whose paragraph (3)(b) reads 'Each employer must ensure' face coverings. Fourth, the liability layer: the Legislature enacted one COVID-19 shield, HB 4402 (Or. Laws 2020 (3d Spec. Sess.), ch. 4, effective December 23, 2020), and conditioned it on the school 'operating in compliance with COVID-19 emergency rules in effect at the time of the act or omission,' a term defined to include 'guidance'; the only general business shield introduced, HB 2638 (2021), which would have protected acts 'in reasonable compliance with guidance,' died in committee on June 26, 2021, so Oregon employers stood under the ordinary negligence standard for which Shahtout v. Emco Garbage Co., 298 Or 598 (1985), makes a governmentally prescribed safeguard the measure of due care. The sanitary code carried the same duties into every food-service, health-care, school and child-care workplace: OAR 333-019-0010(2) provides that a person 'may not attend or work at a school or facility while in a communicable stage of a restrictable disease,' and COVID-19 was made a restrictable disease by PH 17-2020 effective April 6, 2020; ORS 624.080(2) forbids a restaurant to 'employ a person who is affected with, carries or is suspected of being affected with or carrying any communicable disease' and commands the manager to notify OHA 'immediately'; ORS 624.073(2) authorizes closure for an imminent danger. The orders themselves made continued operation conditional: EO 20-12 para. 6 let a retailer operate only if it 'designates an employee or officer to establish, implement, and enforce social distancing policies, consistent with guidance from the Oregon Health Authority' and para. 7 and 11 closed non-compliant businesses 'until they demonstrate compliance' (Ex. OR-007); EO 20-25 para. 6(a) let any retail business 'operate only if the business complies with any applicable OHA guidance' and para. 7(c) commanded that 'Businesses and non-profits must comply with any applicable OHA guidance, including but not limited to guidance for employers' (Ex. OR-017); EO 20-27 para. 4 repeated 'businesses must comply with any applicable OHA guidance, including but not limited to employer guidance, and face coverings guidance' (Ex. OR-020); EO 20-66 para. 2 delegated to OHA the issuance of 'binding guidance for the public, for employers, and for particular sectors of the economy' that 'is enforceable to the same extent this Executive Order is enforceable' (Ex. OR-035); OHA's mask guidance stated that businesses 'are required to' require face coverings (Ex. OR-025); OAR 333-019-1025(7) provides that a person responsible for an indoor space 'must' ensure employee compliance and post signs (Ex. OR-048). Where an instrument recommended rather than commanded, the record says so: EO 20-25 para. 2(c) told individuals they 'should maintain physical distancing' and 'should adhere to any applicable OHA guidance'; EO 20-66 made office work prohibited at Extreme Risk and 'strongly recommended' remote work at High and Moderate Risk (Ex. OR-035 notes); Oregon OSHA's June 30, 2020 advisory memo stated what it 'expects' and what employers 'should' do to enforce the mandatory OHA face-covering requirement, and labeled its further suggestions 'Best Practice.' Each compulsory measure was therefore the discharge of a governmental command or a governmental condition of operating, and none was an election by the employer.

The question these duties answer

Whether the measures Oregon employers took beyond the four corners of the emergency orders were voluntary within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were the discharge of standing duties imposed by Oregon law and of conditions the orders themselves attached to continued operation.
