The record in brief

South Dakota's regime was gubernatorial directive at the State level, force-of-law ordinance at the city level, and a statewide judicial emergency in the courts that outlasted every other instrument. The run-up (March 13-31, 2020): Governor Noem declared a State of Emergency in all counties by EO 2020-04 (Mar. 13, 2020; SDCL 34-48A) and vested the Department of Health with 'the authority and oversight of measures to control and contain the spread of COVID-19'; she ordered non-essential State employees to 'report to work remotely and not report to state offices' and prohibited 'all work-related, out-of-state travel' (EO 2020-05, effective Mar. 15; extended to May 2, 2020 by EOs 2020-06 and 2020-09); the Supreme Court declared a judicial emergency (Mar. 13, 2020) under SDCL 16-3-11 to -15 and suspended the 180-day rule, and every circuit continued jury trials and restricted courthouse access within days; EO 2020-08 (Mar. 23) directed, in 'should' terms, enclosed retail businesses (bars, restaurants, breweries, cafes, casinos, coffee shops, recreational and athletic facilities, health clubs, entertainment venues) to suspend or modify practices involving ten or more people indoors, employers to encourage telework and limit non-essential travel, health care to postpone all non-essential elective surgeries, and local governments to restrict gatherings of ten or more; Brookings (Ord. 20-005, Mar. 23), Sioux Falls (Ord. 28-20, Mar. 26) and Rapid City (Ord. 6412, Mar. 27) closed dine-in, bars, casinos, gyms, theaters and (Brookings) salons by ordinance with criminal penalties; the Legislature enacted HB 1295, HB 1296, SB 188, SB 189 and SB 190 on Mar. 30, 2020. 2020 Q2: EO 2020-12 (Apr. 6) made the directives mandatory ('All employers... shall' implement staggered shifts, flexible schedules and employee screenings; enclosed retail businesses 'shall' suspend or modify ten-or-more indoor practices; health care 'shall' postpone elective surgeries; local governments 'shall' restrict gatherings of ten or more); EO 2020-13 (Apr. 6) imposed a 'mandatory' stay-home order on residents over 65 and those with serious conditions in Minnehaha and Lincoln Counties, extended to May 11, 2020 by EO 2020-18; the Secretary of Health declared a public health emergency in Minnehaha County (Order 2020-01, Apr. 10, 2020) and the Second Circuit closed the Minnehaha County Courthouse to all but litigants, required masks and limited the clerk to electronic and telephone service (CIV 20-4, effective Apr. 15, 2020); EO 2020-20 (Apr. 28) rescinded EO 2020-12 and ordered that 'Every South Dakotan shall implement and follow' the Back to Normal Plan (schools 'continue remote learning'; hospitals reserve 30 percent of beds; surgery centers 'must have' transfer protocols and independently sourced PPE; 'continue to restrict visits to senior care facilities and hospitals'; businesses 'must adhere to any local restrictions'); Rapid City (Apr. 27) and Brookings (May 4 and May 12) reopened on conditions of half capacity, ten customers or one per 200 square feet, six-foot spacing and employee masks; the emergency was continued to May 31 (EO 2020-15) and Dec. 30, 2020 (EO 2020-26); courthouses and driver-license stations closed and titling and licensing deadlines were suspended (EOs 2020-21, 2020-28). 2020 Q3: EO 2020-30 (July 7) re-declared the emergency under the six-month limit added by HB 1296 and terminated the motor-vehicle suspensions; the Plan remained mandatory; Rapid City's regulations ran to the end of July; Brookings extended its capacity-and-mask regime (Ords. 20-010, 20-017) and adopted a public face-covering requirement (Ord. 20-019, Sept. 8, 2020); the Sixth Circuit ordered courtroom masks (Sept. 27). 2020 Q4 (the winter re-tightening): the First, Second and Fourth Circuits ordered masks (Oct. 8-20), the Second Circuit limited courtrooms to half occupancy (Oct. 20), and the Fourth and Seventh Circuits imposed jury-trial moratoria (Nov. 13-16, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2020 and Feb. 28, 2021); Sioux Falls adopted Face Covering Ordinance 114-20 (Nov. 17; in effect Nov. 21, 2020 to Mar. 13, 2021) for indoor retail businesses; Rapid City required masks in City facilities (Oct. 27) and gave first reading to a public mask ordinance (Nov. 19); Brookings adopted comprehensive Ords. 20-028 and 20-029; EO 2020-34 (Dec. 18) continued the emergency to June 30, 2021. 2021 Q1 and Q2: the emergency, the Plan and the court orders continued; Brookings kept half capacity and masks (Ord. 21-001, Feb. 9) and then staff masks (Ord. 21-013, Mar. 23) until Res. 21-024 (Apr. 27) replaced mandates with recommendations, repealed May 31, 2021; the Second Circuit renewed its mask and entry order (CIV 21-4, Apr. 6, 2021); EO 2021-08 (Apr. 20) barred State vaccine-passport requirements; the State of Emergency expired June 30, 2021. 2021 Q3: no gubernatorial COVID-19 directive was in force and HB 1295, SB 188 and SB 190 were repealed July 1, 2021; the judicial emergency and the circuit orders the Unified Judicial System listed as 'currently approved' on Sept. 8, 2021 were in force, including the Second Circuit's July 1, 2021 order barring courthouse entry to diagnosed, quarantined, tested and symptomatic persons (effective July 6, 2021), its July 27, 2021 warrant order, the Fifth Circuit's jury-trial moratorium in discretionary form (Apr. 15, 2021), and the Fourth and Sixth Circuits' face-covering orders as amended; Brookings adopted emergency masking recommendations for the Delta wave (Res. 21-072, Aug. 24, 2021); EO 2021-08 remained; the federal layer and the tribal governments' measures operated on top. South Dakota never preempted local orders; it directed local governments to restrict gatherings and told businesses to obey local restrictions.

The six quarters

What the record shows in force in South Dakota 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 South Dakota, 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

Apr. 28, 2020

2020-04-28 (EO 2020-12 rescinded); 2020-05-11 (EO 2020-13/-18 expired)

Instrument Executive Order 2020-20 (rescinding EO 2020-12 and adopting the Back to Normal Plan), with EO 2020-18's vulnerable-persons stay-home order expiring May 11, 2020

What remained in force

The State of Emergency (EO 2020-04 as continued by EOs 2020-15, 2020-26, 2020-30 and 2020-34) to June 30, 2021, with the Department of Health's 'authority and oversight of measures to control and contain the spread of COVID-19'; EO 2020-20's mandatory adoption of the Back to Normal Plan ('Every South Dakotan shall implement and follow'; 'Local governments shall follow the Plan'), including 'Continue remote learning' for schools, the 30 percent bed reserve and PPE conditions for hospitals and surgery centers, and 'Continue to restrict visits to senior care facilities and hospitals'; the regulatory suspensions (telehealth, licensure, meetings, motor vehicles, child care); HB 1295's injunctive enforcement of DOH directives (to July 1, 2021); the judicial emergency and every circuit order (through and beyond Sept. 30, 2021); city ordinances (Rapid City to the end of July 2020; Sioux Falls' business rules to May 2020 and its mask ordinance Nov. 21, 2020 to Mar. 13, 2021; Brookings' mandatory regime Mar. 23, 2020 to Apr. 27, 2021 and recommendations to May 31, 2021 and again from Aug. 24, 2021).

Preemption of local orders

South Dakota did not preempt local COVID-19 orders in 2020-2021. EO 2020-08 (Mar. 23, 2020) and EO 2020-12 (Apr. 6, 2020) directed 'All local and municipal governments' to 'Restrict public gatherings of ten people or more, unless it is necessary' and to 'Review the business practices of each enclosed retail business that promotes public gatherings in their community for compliance'; the Back to Normal Plan (EO 2020-20, Apr. 28, 2020) told businesses they 'must adhere to any local restrictions' and told local governments to 'Consider current and future actions in light of these guidelines.' Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Brookings legislated under SDCL 9-29-1 and 9-32-1 (Sioux Falls through its Board of Health under SDCL 9-32-2 and Code § 92.053). EO 2021-08 (Apr. 20, 2021) used 'should' for local governments' vaccine-passport policies and bound only executive-branch agencies. 2020 SB 191 (emergency public-health authority for counties and municipalities) was Senate-engrossed on Mar. 30, 2020 but never enrolled and did not become law; Rapid City's page records that a one-reading emergency-ordinance provision 'was removed from the bill early on the advice of the governor's office.' No 2020-2021 statute barring local mask, capacity or closure orders was located.

Standing duties

The statutes, codes and penalty provisions of South Dakota 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 South Dakota duties →

South Dakota is the State the Service treats as the paradigm of no restrictions, and it is the State in which the standing law did the most work, because the Governor's own mandatory business order (EO 2020-12, Ex. SD-009) ran only from April 6 to April 28, 2020. Four standing bodies of law, none written for COVID-19 and none dependent on the life of an executive order, commanded the measures the Service calls voluntary. First, the contagious-disease statutes and rules. The Department of Health 'shall establish and direct the operations of a state-wide system for communicable disease prevention, control, and treatment' and may prescribe by rule 'methods and procedures for the prevention and control of communicable disease,' 'the monitoring, quarantine, and isolation of any patient or carrier' and 'infection prevention measures' (SDCL 34-22-9(4), (5), (8)); it enforces those regulations 'through isolation, prevention, and treatment' (34-22-14); 'the diagnosis, control, and treatment of suspected or confirmed cases of communicable diseases in the state shall be under the supervision and surveillance of the department' (34-22-17); any person subject to a declared public health emergency 'who fails to follow the reasonable and necessary directives of the department issued for the protection of other persons, is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor' (34-22-18: one year, $2,000; Ex. DUT-SD-001, DUT-SD-007); the department may enjoin a person who 'presents a health threat to others' (34-22-18.1, as amended March 31, 2020 by HB 1295, Ex. SD-032, and again by SL 2021, ch 147 for July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022); and the Secretary of Health did declare a public health emergency under 34-22-42 for Minnehaha County on April 10, 2020 'for the sole purpose of facilitating and enforcing public health orders by the Department of Health' (Ex. DUT-SD-004, supplying the text of Ex. SD-090). The department's general statute lets it 'adopt and enforce... orders and rules necessary to preserve and protect the public health' and 'prohibit and suppress' 'the disinfection and quarantine of persons and places in case of disease' (34-1-17(5); Ex. DUT-SD-002), and its rules define the 'public health measure' it may impose 'on persons or property' to include 'environmental sanitation, closure of establishment, exclusion from duty, isolation, quarantine' (ARSD 44:20:01:01(38)), prescribe 'physical isolation for the period of communicability' for airborne diseases (44:20:03:02(1)), and make 'the owner or operator of the food producing, processing, or service establishment or the employer of the food handler... responsible for ensuring compliance' with the exclusion of infected food handlers (44:20:03:09; Ex. DUT-SD-003). 'Every person who intentionally commits any act which grossly endangers the public health is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor' (34-16-1; Ex. DUT-SD-005). Second, the emergency-management and municipal statutes. The Governor 'may control... the movement of persons within the area, and the occupancy of premises within the area' and 'make, amend, and rescind the necessary orders' (34-48A-5(5), 34-48A-9; Ex. DUT-SD-006, SD-033); chapter 34-48A carries no criminal penalty of its own, and the record says so. Every municipality 'shall have power to do what may be necessary or expedient for the promotion of health or the suppression of disease' (9-32-1; Ex. DUT-SD-008) and may punish ordinance violations up to the Class 2 misdemeanor ceiling (9-19-3, 22-6-2(2); Ex. DUT-SD-009, DUT-SD-007): the Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Brookings closure and reopening ordinances rested on those powers and carried those penalties (Ex. SD-039, SD-064, SD-070). Third, the workplace duty. South Dakota has no State OSHA plan; the general duty clause, 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1), bound every private employer to furnish 'a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm' (Ex. DUT-SD-012), and OSHA enforced it against a Sioux Falls employer on September 10, 2020 (Ex. AGY-FED-LABOR-IMMIGRATION-031). State law adds the civil duty: 'An employer shall in all cases indemnify an employee for losses caused by the employer's want of ordinary care' (60-2-3; Ex. DUT-SD-010) and 'Every person is responsible for injury to the person... of another caused by... his want of ordinary care or skill' (20-9-1; Ex. DUT-SD-011). Fourth, the sanitary code: every food service and lodging establishment operates only under a Department of Health license, subject to summary suspension for 'a hazardous condition that may immediately endanger human life or be seriously detrimental to public health,' with a Class 2 misdemeanor for each day of operation after a notice of closure (34-18-9, -27, -27.1, -32; Ex. DUT-SD-015), and the Food Service Code commands that 'the person in charge must exclude an ill employee' (ARSD 44:02:07:07; Ex. DUT-SD-016). The liability shield, HB 1046 (SL 2021, ch 99; signed February 18, 2021; Ex. DUT-SD-013, DUT-SD-014), is recorded exactly: it bars exposure claims against premises possessors absent 'intentional exposure... with the intent to transmit COVID-19,' contains no compliance condition, and names the 'public health guidance' of the CDC, CMS, OSHA, the Governor and every State agency as the body of directives to which health-care acts responded. The operating conditions of the State's own orders are quoted from the library: EO 2020-12 ('All employers... shall: 6. Implement the recommended CDC hygiene practices and other business strategies... (staggering shifts, flexible schedules, employee screenings, etc.)'; Ex. SD-009) and EO 2020-20 ('Every South Dakotan shall implement and follow' the Back to Normal Plan, whose employer provisions are phrased as recommendations and whose FAQ states that businesses 'must adhere to any local restrictions'; Ex. SD-017). No South Dakota Attorney General opinion issued in 2020 or 2021 (the Attorney General's opinion archive lists none for either year), and no South Dakota court decision on business compliance with a COVID-19 directive was located; the enforcement record is federal (Ex. AGY-FED-LABOR-IMMIGRATION-031) and municipal (Ex. SD-039, SD-064, SD-070).

The question these duties answer

Whether the measures 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 South Dakota and federal law.
