1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Minnesota and metropolitan area Minneapolis-St. Paul. Quarters: second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020), third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020), fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020), first quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021), second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) and third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021). Options: the federal layer, agencies and boards, standing duties, group meetings and trade shows and the Service's fourteen sentences answered.

This report is a record of the governmental orders and related instruments that The COVID Project has retrieved, verified and indexed for the State, metropolitan area, industry and calendar quarters selected. Each instrument appears with its issuer, its number and title, its dates, the quarters in which it was in force, the functions of a business it reached, its operative words, its enforcement provision, a citation and an exhibit identifier. Every exhibit identifier resolves to the instrument's record at covidproject.com/library, and to the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit.

The report is assembled from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings, and it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It lists the instruments The COVID Project has verified and no others, so every count in it is a floor. It is not a filing, and it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit.

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?state=MN&metro=MSP&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

CMS, in collaboration with medical societies and associations, recently created recommendations to postpone non-essential surgeries and other procedures. This document provides recommendations to limit those medical services that could be deferred, such as non-emergent, elective treatment, and preventive medical services for patients of all ages. A tiered framework is recommended to prioritize services and care to those who require emergent or urgent attention to save a life, manage severe disease, or avoid further harms from an underlying condition.... CMS urges healthcare facilities and clinicians to consider the following tiered approach to curtailing non-emergent, elective medical services and treatment.

To expand capacity to care for these patients and to conserve adequate staff and supplies, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), on March 18 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended limiting non-essential care and expanding surge capacity into ambulatory surgical centers and other areas.... Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

Preemption of local orders, State of Minnesota: None. Minnesota preserved local authority throughout. EO 20-38 para. 5 and every successor recreation paragraph: 'Nothing in this paragraph should be construed to abrogate existing local authority to limit or restrict activities or close facilities.' EO 20-81 para. 18 ('Enhanced local measures permitted'): 'Nothing in this Executive Order or previous Executive Orders should be construed to prohibit or prevent political subdivisions from implementing, within their jurisdictions and pursuant to applicable law and authority, requirements beyond those contained in this Executive Order... Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2019, section 12.32, political subdivisions may not relax or reduce this Executive Order's requirements.' EO 21-23 para. 9 repeated the rule on May 14, 2021 ('cities and other political subdivisions may take actions that are more protective of the public health but may not take actions that are less protective'). After the emergency ended July 1, 2021, cities and counties acted under their own ordinance and emergency powers. The Supreme Court's July 30, 2021 order directed district courts to follow county face-covering mandates in county-owned courthouses.

Preemption of local orders, State of Minnesota: None. Minnesota preserved local authority throughout. EO 20-38 para. 5 and every successor recreation paragraph: 'Nothing in this paragraph should be construed to abrogate existing local authority to limit or restrict activities or close facilities.' EO 20-81 para. 18 ('Enhanced local measures permitted'): 'Nothing in this Executive Order or previous Executive Orders should be construed to prohibit or prevent political subdivisions from implementing, within their jurisdictions and pursuant to applicable law and authority, requirements beyond those contained in this Executive Order... Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2019, section 12.32, political subdivisions may not relax or reduce this Executive Order's requirements.' EO 21-23 para. 9 repeated the rule on May 14, 2021 ('cities and other political subdivisions may take actions that are more protective of the public health but may not take actions that are less protective'). After the emergency ended July 1, 2021, cities and counties acted under their own ordinance and emergency powers. The Supreme Court's July 30, 2021 order directed district courts to follow county face-covering mandates in county-owned courthouses.

State agency employees working in person will be required to show proof of vaccination and attest to their vaccination status by Wednesday, September 8. Employees who are not vaccinated will be required to receive a negative COVID-19 test at least once a week in order to work on-site at all public workplaces around the state.... Minnesota's vaccination or weekly testing requirement for state agency employees comes as the state sees a steady increase in COVID-19 cases. New cases are up 574% per week from one month ago, nearly entirely driven by the highly-contagious Delta variant.

Due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Ramsey County, and new recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cloth face coverings are now required in county facilities. The decision was made following the meeting of the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, August 3. All visitors and employees are required to wear cloth face coverings regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not. This policy applies to all indoor buildings and facilities operated by Ramsey County.... The city of Saint Paul has resumed its requirement that all employees and visitors to city-controlled facilities wear cloth face coverings, whether they are vaccinated or not.

What remained: Through June 30, 2021: the mandatory certified COVID-19 Preparedness Plan for 'All businesses in Minnesota' (EO 21-11 para. 13 as added by EO 21-21), school and child-care face coverings through the 2020-21 school year (EO 21-23 para. 4), EO 20-54 worker protections, EO 20-55 at-risk provisions, the EO 20-51 facility plan requirement (to May 27).

Sess., ch. 7 extensions of DHS COVID-19 waivers for 60 days, 365 days or to Dec. 31, 2021 after the emergency; the CDC conveyance mask order, TSA directives and the OSHA Healthcare ETS (federal exhibits).

Preemption of local orders, State of Minnesota: None. Minnesota preserved local authority throughout. EO 20-38 para. 5 and every successor recreation paragraph: 'Nothing in this paragraph should be construed to abrogate existing local authority to limit or restrict activities or close facilities.' EO 20-81 para. 18 ('Enhanced local measures permitted'): 'Nothing in this Executive Order or previous Executive Orders should be construed to prohibit or prevent political subdivisions from implementing, within their jurisdictions and pursuant to applicable law and authority, requirements beyond those contained in this Executive Order... Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 2019, section 12.32, political subdivisions may not relax or reduce this Executive Order's requirements.' EO 21-23 para. 9 repeated the rule on May 14, 2021 ('cities and other political subdivisions may take actions that are more protective of the public health but may not take actions that are less protective'). After the emergency ended July 1, 2021, cities and counties acted under their own ordinance and emergency powers. The Supreme Court's July 30, 2021 order directed district courts to follow county face-covering mandates in county-owned courthouses.

End of general restrictions, Minneapolis-St. Paul: Statewide: Emergency Executive Order 21-21 (May 6, 2021; capacity, party-size and distancing limits ended 11:59 p.m. May 27, 2021) and Emergency Executive Order 21-23 (May 14, 2021; statewide face-covering requirement lifted).

Preemption of local orders, Minneapolis-St. Paul: None. Minnesota did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders. The Governor's statewide face-covering order (Emergency Executive Order 20-81, July 25, 2020) and its rescission (Emergency Executive Order 21-23, May 14, 2021) each left local governments and businesses free to keep their own requirements; Minneapolis kept ER 2020-12 to June 1, 2021, Saint Paul re-imposed a mandate May 21 - June 2, 2021 and again for City property from Aug. 3, 2021, and Ramsey County required masks in every county building from Aug. 3, 2021. The State peacetime emergency ended July 1, 2021 by legislative action; the local emergencies were continued by the city councils under Minn. Stat. 12.29 and the municipal codes (Ex.

5. Standing duties in Minnesota

Minnesota's compulsion ran on four tracks, three of them standing law that predates COVID-19 and outlasted every emergency executive order. First, the Emergency Management Act, Minn. Stat. ch. 12, gives every gubernatorial emergency order, once approved by the Executive Council and filed with the Secretary of State, 'the full force and effect of law' (§ 12.32) and makes willful violation a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or ninety days (§ 12.45) (DUT-MN-006); the Supreme Court of Minnesota held on May 10, 2024 that the Act 'authorizes the declaration of a peacetime emergency in response to a pandemic' and that the Governor needed no evidentiary showing before declaring one for COVID-19 (Snell v. Walz, No. A21-0626, DUT-MN-018). The orders carried their own penalties on their face: § 12.45 in EO 20-20 ¶ 9 (Ex. MN-010); a gross misdemeanor ($3,000, one year) for any business owner, manager or supervisor who requires or encourages a worker to violate the order, plus civil penalties of up to $25,000 per occurrence under § 8.31, in EO 20-99 (Ex. MN-032); and the Attorney General enforced them by temporary restraining orders and injunctions, obtaining a Dakota County temporary injunction on December 31, 2020 that found a restaurant's defiance 'both against the law and harmful' (State v. Alibi Drinkery, DUT-MN-017), while the Department of Health used cease-and-desist orders, administrative penalties of up to $10,000 and license suspension and the Department of Public Safety used misdemeanor citations and sixty-day liquor-license suspensions (DUT-MN-016). Second, the communicable-disease statutes: the Commissioner of Health may control by rule 'the disinfection and quarantine of persons and places' (§ 144.12 subd. 1(7), DUT-MN-001); isolation and quarantine of infected and exposed persons 'may include... confinement to private homes or other private or public premises' (§ 144.419 subd. 2(b), DUT-MN-002), enforceable by any peace officer (§ 144.4195 subd. 1(d), read); every employer 'shall not discharge, discipline, threaten, or penalize' an employee who complied with isolation or quarantine, including on a mere 'written recommendation of the commissioner' (§ 144.4196, DUT-MN-003); community health boards must 'obey instructions on the control of communicable diseases as the commissioner may direct' and 'shall order the owner or occupant of the property to remove or abate' any 'cause of sickness' found on any property (§ 145A.04 subds. 6 and 8, DUT-MN-005); and the Health Enforcement Consolidation Act supplies correction orders, administrative penalty orders of up to $10,000, injunctions, 72-hour cease-and-desist orders and license denial (§ 144.99, DUT-MN-004). Third, the workplace-safety duty: the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Act commands that 'Each employer shall furnish to each of its employees conditions of employment and a place of employment free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious injury or harm to its employees' and 'shall comply with occupational safety and health standards' (§ 182.653 subds. 2-3), requires a written hazard-control program (AWAIR, subd. 8), protects the employee who refuses imminently dangerous work (§ 182.654 subd. 11) and fines willful violations up to $70,000 (§ 182.666) (DUT-MN-007); Minnesota adopts the federal standards by reference (Minn. R. 5205.0010, DUT-MN-009), and the current text of that rule adopts 86 Fed. Reg. 32376 (June 21, 2021), 'Occupational Exposure to COVID-19; Emergency Temporary Standard,' so the OSHA Healthcare ETS was Minnesota law by incorporation; the Employee Right-to-Know standard requires employers to 'exercise reasonable diligence in evaluating their workplace for the presence of other recognized infectious agents' and to train exposed employees (Minn. R. 5206.0600, DUT-MN-010). MNOSHA told essential employers in April 2020 that they 'have a fundamental obligation to protect their employees from known hazards' and 'must follow requirements set forth under the Occupational Safety and Health Act,' 'must ensure they are assessing the potential exposures,' 'must perform an assessment' for PPE and 'must train their employees about the health hazards relative to COVID-19 exposure' (DUT-MN-014). Fourth, the orders made the right to operate conditional on a written COVID-19 Preparedness Plan implementing 'Minnesota OSHA Standards and MDH and CDC Guidelines' (EO 20-40 ¶ 6, Ex. MN-015; EO 20-56 ¶ 7.e, Ex. MN-022; EO 20-74 ¶¶ 7.c.i, 7.d.i, 7.e, Ex. MN-025, extending the requirement to every Critical Business from June 29, 2020; EO 20-99 ¶ 7.d, Ex. MN-032; EO 21-11 ¶¶ 7.b-c, Ex. MN-037; EO 21-21 ¶ 13, Ex. MN-038, in force to 11:59 p.m. June 30, 2021), on face coverings that 'Businesses must require' (EO 20-81 ¶ 15.a, Ex. MN-027) and on the Industry Guidance the orders incorporated by reference; the State's own Plan guidance instructed that 'Unless clearly indicated that an action included in the guidance is recommended, businesses should understand that the action is required' (DUT-MN-013), and the universal guidance of May 28, 2021 confirmed that 'The EO requires all businesses to have and implement a written COVID-19 Preparedness Plan' through June 30, 2021 while marking its own post-mandate content as 'Recommendations' (DUT-MN-015). Minnesota enacted no COVID-19 liability shield in 2020 or 2021 (DUT-MN-021, from the Legislative Reference Library's catalogue of the COVID-19 session laws), so no business ever received immunity for compliance; instead the Legislature made COVID-19 a presumptively compensable occupational disease for front-line workers (Laws 2020, ch. 72, Ex. AGY-ST-UTILITIES-HOUSING-AG-067), and the ordinary rule that a business answers in tort for the injury its unlawful operation causes remained the standard of care. The Food Code independently required the person in charge to exclude ill food employees (Minn. R. 4626.0045, DUT-MN-011) and every licensee to 'immediately discontinue operations' on an imminent health hazard including any 'other circumstance that may endanger public health' (Minn. R. 4626.1795, DUT-MN-012), under a licensing statute whose inspection orders 'Each person shall comply with' (§ 157.20 subd. 3, DUT-MN-008). Every one of these instruments is a governmental command or a governmental condition on operating; none is an election by the employer.

The phase question

Whether the measures Minnesota 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 Minnesota law and of conditions the orders themselves attached to the right to operate.

A.3. When may an ADA-covered employer take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination. Because the CDC and state/local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19 and issued attendant precautions, employers may measure employees' body temperature.... an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace... An employer may require employees to wear protective gear (for example, masks and gloves) and observe infection control practices (for example, regular hand washing and social distancing protocols).

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others....

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 278 instruments in force for this selection: 25 instruments from the State of Minnesota (Governor Tim Walz, Emergency Executive Order 20-33 (Apr. 8, 2020) (Ex.

FED-097); The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force (with CDC), The President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America: 15 Days to Slow the Spread (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex.

L. 91-596, 84 Stat. 1593), 29 U.S.C. 654 (OSH Act § 5, the general duty clause) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-001); Congress (OSH Act § 11(c)), 29 U.S.C. 660(c) (OSH Act § 11(c), anti-retaliation) (standing) (Ex. DUT-FED-002); and 41 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: CB (Ex. MN-012); DR dining room (Ex. MET-MSP-002); WF (Ex. MN-012); WF workforce (Ex. MN-021); CB customer base (Ex. MET-MSP-002); CB customers (Ex. MET-MSP-006); CT courts (Ex. MET-MSP-054); DR (Ex. MN-008); IN in-person instruction (Ex. MN-019); OF telework mandate (Ex. MN-012).

Step three, the change compelled. Mayor Melvin Carter III (Office of the Mayor; Saint Paul Emergency Management), Emergency Executive Orders compendium (City page) (Mar. 17, 2020) (Ex. MET-MSP-021) ordered: "See the per-order exhibits MET-MSP-022 through -045; pins to this PDF: EEO 2020-1 at 110; 2020-8 at 117; 2020-9 at 118; 2020-10 at 120; 2020-18 at 133; 2020-20 at 135; 2020-22 at 137; 2020-25 at 143; 2020-40 at 164; 2020-41 at 166; 2021-3 at 63; 2021-5 at 65; 2021-21 at 84; 2021-22 at 85; 2021-23 at…" Enforcement: Minn. Stat. 12.45 (misdemeanor); Saint Paul Leg. Code 13.13; licensing action under Leg. Code ch. 310 (as recited in the individual orders) Governor Tim Walz, Emergency Executive Order 20-33 (Apr. 8, 2020) (Ex. MN-012) ordered: "1. Beginning on Wednesday, April 8, 2020 at 11:59 pm through Sunday, May 03, 2020 at 11:59 pm, all persons currently living within the State of Minnesota are ordered to stay at home or in their place of residence except to engage in the Activities and Critical Sector work set forth below in…" Enforcement: Para. 9 (sec. 12.45 misdemeanor, $1,000 or 90 days); DEED 'clarifications carry the full weight and effect of this Executive Order' Governor Tim Walz, Emergency Executive Order 20-48 (Apr. 30, 2020) (Ex. MN-017) ordered: "1. Beginning on Sunday, May 3, 2020 at 11:59 pm through Sunday, May 17, 2020 at 11:59 pm, all persons currently living within the State of Minnesota are ordered to stay at home or in their place of residence except to engage in the Activities set forth below in paragraph 5 and to work in Critical…" Enforcement: Sec. 12.45 misdemeanor for individuals; gross misdemeanor ($3,000 or one year) for business owners, managers or supervisors who require or encourage violations… The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. Emergency Executive Orders compendium (City page) (Ex. MET-MSP-021) was in force from Mar. 17, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 106 of the quarter's 110 days; Emergency Executive Order 20-33 (Ex. MN-012) was in force from Apr. 8, 2020 to May 3, 2020, 26 of the quarter's 110 days; Emergency Executive Order 20-48 (Ex. MN-017) was in force from May 3, 2020 to May 17, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 56 instruments in the quarter's record, 2 were in force on its first day, 39 on its last day and 2 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020)

Step one, the orders.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. Emergency Executive Orders compendium (City page) (Ex.

On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19.

MET-MSP-021) ordered: "See the per-order exhibits MET-MSP-022 through -045; pins to this PDF: EEO 2020-1 at 110; 2020-8 at 117; 2020-9 at 118; 2020-10 at 120; 2020-18 at 133; 2020-20 at 135; 2020-22 at 137; 2020-25 at 143; 2020-40 at 164; 2020-41 at 166; 2021-3 at 63; 2021-5 at 65; 2021-21 at 84; 2021-22 at 85; 2021-23 at…" Enforcement: Minn.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021, 90 days. Emergency Executive Orders compendium (City page) (Ex. MET-MSP-021) was in force from Mar. 17, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days; Emergency Executive Order 20-103 (Ex.

MET-MSP-002) was in force from Mar. 17, 2020 to Mar. 31, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 90 days. Of the 41 instruments in the quarter's record, 32 were in force on its first day, 30 on its last day and 26 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the first quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Of the 40 instruments in the quarter's record, 28 were in force on its first day, 28 on its last day and 20 on every day of the quarter.

8. How to use this report

Keep this report with your payroll records and the other records that support your claim. The Notice itself describes what those records are. Q&A-70 says an employer "will adequately substantiate eligibility for the employee retention credit if the employer creates and maintains records that include," among other things, "any governmental order to suspend the employer's business operations" and "any records the employer relied upon to determine whether more than a nominal portion of its operations were suspended due to a governmental order or whether a governmental order had more than a nominal effect on its business operations" (Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, Q&A-70, at 944-45). Q&A-71 says to keep those records "for at least 4 years after the date the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever comes later" (Q&A-71, at 945). This report is the first of those two items for your selection, and it is meant to sit beside the second.

If you have received a letter from the Service saying that no government orders were in effect during the quarter you claimed, this report answers that sentence with the public record, order by order. Read the quarter you claimed. For each instrument, the report gives you the issuer, the number, the dates, the words that commanded the change, the penalty behind them and the exhibit. Those are facts about the public record, and anyone can check them against the register, the code or the docket the report cites. The Service is free to argue about how much a given order affected your business. Whether the orders existed is not a matter of opinion.

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. Third, the period can be extended only by a written agreement between you and the Service under section 6532(a)(2), made on Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, and effective only if the Service signs it before the two years run out.
