1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Kentucky and metropolitan area Louisville and Lexington. 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=KY&metro=SDF&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.

On July 17, 2020 and pursuant to Section 110 of the Kentucky Constitution, this Court entered an order staying all orders of injunctive relief... In sum, the Governor properly declared a state of emergency pursuant to KRS 39A.100 because the COVID-19 pandemic constitutes the 'occurrence' of a biological and etiological hazard as delineated in KRS 39A.010.... Ultimately, we conclude that the Governor is largely exercising emergency executive power but to the extent legislative authority is involved it has been validly delegated by the General Assembly consistent with decades of Kentucky precedent, which we will not overturn.

Enforcement: Judgment of the Commonwealth's highest court; every challenged order (mask mandate, capacity limits, closures) remained enforceable

Mayor Linda Gorton today waived 2020 liquor license renewal fees for bars, restaurants and several other facilities. The waiver applies to businesses shut down by Governor Andy Beshear's orders as 'non-essential,' or those required to operate under limited capacity because of COVID-19.... Over the summer, Gorton worked to cushion the blow on many of these same businesses operating under limited capacity by finding ways to allow them to expand seating on sidewalks and parking lots.

End of general restrictions, State of Kentucky: Executive Order 2021-386 (Gov. Beshear, June 11, 2021), rescinding EOs 2020-243, 2020-257, 2020-323, 2020-396, 2020-398, 2020-881, 2020-1041 and 2021-326, all CHFS implementing orders and the Healthy at Work requirements (Ex. KY-049) (2021-06-11 (effective 1:00 p.m.)). What remained: The state of emergency under EO 2020-215 (kept 'in place' by EO 2021-386 para. 5 and extended by 2021 SS HJR 1 to January 15, 2022); face coverings required for any person on planes, buses, trains and other public transportation and in transportation hubs, in any health-care setting and in any long-term-care setting (EO 2021-386 para. 4); the Supreme Court of Kentucky's administrative orders on court facilities and proceedings (AO 2021-16/17 to Aug. 9, 2021; AO 2021-27/28 thereafter); CHFS health-care directives and testing orders; the sector boards' and cabinets' orders later ratified by HJR 1; from July 29-30, 2021 masks in all state office buildings; from Aug. 3, 2021 universal masking in state-run health-care facilities; from Aug. 10, 2021 EO 2021-585 (school and child-care masks) and from Aug. 12, 2021 702 KAR 1:195E and 902 KAR 2:213E, all ended by HJR 1 (Sept. 7) and SB 1 (Sept. 9), after which school masking continued district by district and health-care masking under federal rules.

Preemption of local orders, State of Kentucky: Kentucky did not bar local orders during 2020. The Governor's and CHFS orders expressly delegated to local health departments 'the authority to take all necessary measures to implement this Order' (CHFS orders of Mar. 16, 17 and 19, 2020; EO 2020-257 para. 6), and EO 2020-586 para. 7 'encouraged' local governments to adopt its requirements; local health departments (KRS ch. 212) and the consolidated governments of Louisville and Lexington issued their own instruments. The General Assembly's 2021 legislation is the preemption layer: HB 1 (Acts ch. 3, Feb. 2, 2021) provides that 'No state or local agency shall enforce restrictions related to the state of emergency impacting the ability of the entities listed in this subsection to remain open and fully operational for in-person services that exceed current applicable guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the executive branch, whichever is least restrictive' (sec. 1(1)(c)); SB 1 (Acts ch. 6) added KRS 39A.100(4)-(5) barring 'any governmental entity' from restricting the right to peaceably assemble or to worship in person; both were enjoined by the Franklin Circuit Court from March 2021 until the Supreme Court's Aug. 21, 2021 mandate (Cameron v. Beshear) and were therefore operative for the balance of Q3 2021. 2021 SS SB 1 (Acts ch. 4, Sept. 9, 2021) nullified the statewide school and child-care mask regulations and vested masking decisions in local school boards, so local school-district mask policies, not State orders, governed from Sept. 10, 2021.

You are authorized to provide assistance for emergency protective measures (Category B), including direct Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program [statewide].

End of general restrictions, State of Kentucky: Executive Order 2021-386 (Gov.

KY-049) (2021-06-11 (effective 1:00 p.m.)). What remained: The state of emergency under EO 2020-215 (kept 'in place' by EO 2021-386 para. 5 and extended by 2021 SS HJR 1 to January 15, 2022); face coverings required for any person on planes, buses, trains and other public transportation and in transportation hubs, in any health-care setting and in any long-term-care setting (EO 2021-386 para. 4); the Supreme Court of Kentucky's administrative orders on court facilities and proceedings (AO 2021-16/17 to Aug. 9, 2021; AO 2021-27/28 thereafter); CHFS health-care directives and testing orders; the sector boards' and cabinets' orders later ratified by HJR 1; from July 29-30, 2021 masks in all state office buildings; from Aug. 3, 2021 universal masking in state-run health-care facilities; from Aug. 10, 2021 EO 2021-585 (school and child-care masks) and from Aug. 12, 2021 702 KAR 1:195E and 902 KAR 2:213E, all ended by HJR 1 (Sept. 7) and SB 1 (Sept. 9), after which school masking continued district by district and health-care masking under federal rules.

Preemption of local orders, State of Kentucky: Kentucky did not bar local orders during 2020. The Governor's and CHFS orders expressly delegated to local health departments 'the authority to take all necessary measures to implement this Order' (CHFS orders of Mar. 16, 17 and 19, 2020; EO 2020-257 para. 6), and EO 2020-586 para. 7 'encouraged' local governments to adopt its requirements; local health departments (KRS ch. 212) and the consolidated governments of Louisville and Lexington issued their own instruments. The General Assembly's 2021 legislation is the preemption layer: HB 1 (Acts ch. 3, Feb. 2, 2021) provides that 'No state or local agency shall enforce restrictions related to the state of emergency impacting the ability of the entities listed in this subsection to remain open and fully operational for in-person services that exceed current applicable guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the executive branch, whichever is least restrictive' (sec. 1(1)(c)); SB 1 (Acts ch. 6) added KRS 39A.100(4)-(5) barring 'any governmental entity' from restricting the right to peaceably assemble or to worship in person; both were enjoined by the Franklin Circuit Court from March 2021 until the Supreme Court's Aug. 21, 2021 mandate (Cameron v. Beshear) and were therefore operative for the balance of Q3 2021. 2021 SS SB 1 (Acts ch. 4, Sept. 9, 2021) nullified the statewide school and child-care mask regulations and vested masking decisions in local school boards, so local school-district mask policies, not State orders, governed from Sept. 10, 2021.

Accordingly, we remand this case to the trial court with instructions to dissolve the injunction. (slip op. at 1-2)... The bills became effective on February 2, 2021. (at 3)...

End of general restrictions, State of Kentucky: Executive Order 2021-386 (Gov. Beshear, June 11, 2021), rescinding EOs 2020-243, 2020-257, 2020-323, 2020-396, 2020-398, 2020-881, 2020-1041 and 2021-326, all CHFS implementing orders and the Healthy at Work requirements (Ex. KY-049) (2021-06-11 (effective 1:00 p.m.)). What remained: The state of emergency under EO 2020-215 (kept 'in place' by EO 2021-386 para. 5 and extended by 2021 SS HJR 1 to January 15, 2022); face coverings required for any person on planes, buses, trains and other public transportation and in transportation hubs, in any health-care setting and in any long-term-care setting (EO 2021-386 para. 4); the Supreme Court of Kentucky's administrative orders on court facilities and proceedings (AO 2021-16/17 to Aug. 9, 2021; AO 2021-27/28 thereafter); CHFS health-care directives and testing orders; the sector boards' and cabinets' orders later ratified by HJR 1; from July 29-30, 2021 masks in all state office buildings; from Aug. 3, 2021 universal masking in state-run health-care facilities; from Aug. 10, 2021 EO 2021-585 (school and child-care masks) and from Aug. 12, 2021 702 KAR 1:195E and 902 KAR 2:213E, all ended by HJR 1 (Sept. 7) and SB 1 (Sept. 9), after which school masking continued district by district and health-care masking under federal rules.

Preemption of local orders, State of Kentucky: Kentucky did not bar local orders during 2020. The Governor's and CHFS orders expressly delegated to local health departments 'the authority to take all necessary measures to implement this Order' (CHFS orders of Mar. 16, 17 and 19, 2020; EO 2020-257 para. 6), and EO 2020-586 para. 7 'encouraged' local governments to adopt its requirements; local health departments (KRS ch. 212) and the consolidated governments of Louisville and Lexington issued their own instruments. The General Assembly's 2021 legislation is the preemption layer: HB 1 (Acts ch. 3, Feb. 2, 2021) provides that 'No state or local agency shall enforce restrictions related to the state of emergency impacting the ability of the entities listed in this subsection to remain open and fully operational for in-person services that exceed current applicable guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the executive branch, whichever is least restrictive' (sec. 1(1)(c)); SB 1 (Acts ch. 6) added KRS 39A.100(4)-(5) barring 'any governmental entity' from restricting the right to peaceably assemble or to worship in person; both were enjoined by the Franklin Circuit Court from March 2021 until the Supreme Court's Aug. 21, 2021 mandate (Cameron v. Beshear) and were therefore operative for the balance of Q3 2021. 2021 SS SB 1 (Acts ch. 4, Sept. 9, 2021) nullified the statewide school and child-care mask regulations and vested masking decisions in local school boards, so local school-district mask policies, not State orders, governed from Sept. 10, 2021.

End of general restrictions, Louisville and Lexington: Governor's termination of the statewide mask, distancing and capacity orders (KY State file); locally, Lexington's reopening of government offices closed since March 23, 2020 (Ex. MET-SDF-035) (2021-06-11). What remained: Louisville Ordinances 057-2020 and 085-2021 (Exs. 003, 004, to at least Jan. 30, 2022); Lexington Ordinance 18-2021 (Ex. 015, to Oct. 31, 2021); the federal conveyance mask order and TSA directives on TARC and Lextran (FED file); from Aug. 2, 2021 the Metro-building and vehicle mask rule (Ex. 017); from Aug. 11-12, 2021 the JCPS and FCPS mask and quarantine rules (Ex. 028; 046, 048) and Metro Council Resolutions 065-2021 and 066-2021 (Exs. 016, 005); the State's Aug.-Sept. 2021 school-mask instruments and HJR 1 (KY State file).

Preemption of local orders, Louisville and Lexington: None as to the instruments recorded here. Kentucky's local governments and local boards of health (KRS ch. 212) retained their powers throughout; neither Louisville nor Lexington adopted a general local business-closure or community-wide mask ordinance of its own, so the 2021 statutes limiting the Governor's emergency powers (HB 1, SB 1, SB 2, HJR 77 of the 2021 Regular Session; enjoined by the Franklin Circuit Court in March 2021; sustained in Cameron v. Beshear (Ky. Aug. 21, 2021)) displaced no local order. Beshear v. Acree (Ky. Nov. 12, 2020) sustained the Governor's 2020 orders. The Special Session's HJR 1 (Acts ch. 1, Sept. 7, 2021) extended the State's COVID-19 executive actions to Jan. 15, 2022; SB 1 (Acts ch. 4, Sept. 9, 2021, veto overridden) nullified 702 KAR 1:195E and 902 KAR 2:213E and directed each school district to adopt its own COVID-19 operations plan, leaving the JCPS and FCPS mask rules in place as district rules; SB 2 (Acts ch. 5, Sept. 10, 2021, veto overridden) addressed COVID-19 emergency actions (KY State file). The one local instrument enjoined was Louisville's April 7, 2020 drive-in-worship prohibition (On Fire Christian Center, Inc. v. Fischer, No. 3:20-cv-264-JRW, W.D. Ky. Apr. 11, 2020, Ex.

5. Standing duties in Kentucky

Kentucky law imposed, throughout the six quarters, five standing duties that made the pandemic protocols compulsory for every employer and every operator of premises open to the public. First, the communicable-disease statutes commanded the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to act: KRS 214.020, in the text in force from March 6, 2020 to February 1, 2021, provided that when the Cabinet 'believes that there is a probability that any infectious or contagious disease will invade this state, it shall take such action and adopt and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems efficient in preventing the introduction or spread' of the disease and 'shall establish and strictly maintain quarantine and isolation at such places as it deems proper' (Ex. DUT-KY-009 sec. 22 (prior text in brackets); Ex. KY-032 at 82 n.61); KRS 211.180(1) directed the Cabinet to 'enforce the administrative regulations promulgated by the secretary' for the 'Detection, prevention, and control of communicable diseases' (Ex. DUT-KY-003); KRS 211.025 made it the Cabinet's duty to 'enforce all public health laws' and 'do all other things reasonably necessary to protect and improve the health of the people' (quoted in Ex. KY-032 at 82 n.62). The Cabinet's standing control regulations turned those commands on persons and premises: 902 KAR 2:050 requires the local health department or the Cabinet, whenever a person 'has been implicated as a possible reservoir or possible source of infection of any communicable disease,' to 'employ such measures as are necessary to secure adequate isolation, restriction of employment or other control procedures,' and, for implicated property, 'adequate cleaning, disinfection, or other control procedures necessary to insure cessation of transmission' (Ex. DUT-KY-006 secs. 1-2); 902 KAR 2:030 requires local health departments to inspect premises 'in a condition conducive to the spread of any communicable disease,' to 'Establish and maintain quarantine, isolation or other measures as required by law' and to 'Introduce such other measures... as are necessary because of widespread infection or threatened epidemic' (Ex. DUT-KY-020 sec. 1). Local health departments held the statutory power to 'Issue written orders directed to the owner or occupant of any property, or to any person, firm, or corporation whatever, commanding... compliance with applicable public health laws of this state and all regulations of the Cabinet' and to seek mandatory or prohibitory injunctions (KRS 212.245(5)-(6), Ex. DUT-KY-005), and Louisville's health department used that power to close businesses in the first weeks (Ex. MET-SDF-027). Failure to comply with a Cabinet regulation or order is an offense for every day of noncompliance (KRS 211.990(2), Ex. DUT-KY-004); violation of a local board's regulation carries a fine for each day (KRS 212.990(2), Ex. DUT-KY-016); willful violation of a Cabinet regulation under KRS 214.020 is a Class B misdemeanor (KRS 214.990(2) as amended February 2, 2021, Ex. DUT-KY-002). Second, the emergency-management chapter gave every order 'the full force of law' (KRS 39A.180(2), Ex. DUT-KY-007; the 2020 text quoted in Ex. KY-032 at 57) and directed 'The law enforcement authorities of the state and of its counties, urban-counties, charter counties, and cities' to 'enforce the written orders and administrative regulations issued pursuant to KRS Chapters 39A to 39F' (KRS 39A.180(4)); violation of any order under the chapter was a Class A misdemeanor (up to twelve months and $500, KRS 532.090(1), 534.040(2)(a)) until 2021 Senate Bill 1 substituted fines of $100 and $250 effective February 2, 2021 (KRS 39A.990, Ex. DUT-KY-008; the struck words 'guilty of a Class A misdemeanor' appear in Ex. KY-041 sec. 6), and Senate Bill 1 was itself enjoined from March 3 to August 21, 2021 (Exs. KY-041, KY-055). The Cabinet's own emergency regulation of August 7, 2020 made the business the enforcer: 'Any owner, operator, or employer of a business or other public-facing entity who violates this administrative regulation by permitting an individual on the premises who is not wearing a face covering... shall be fined... The business may also be subject to an order requiring immediate closure,' with enforcement by 'the Labor Cabinet, the Department for Public Health, another state regulatory agency, and each local health department' (902 KAR 2:210E sec. 3, Ex. DUT-KY-018; its predecessor 902 KAR 2:190E is quoted in Ex. KY-032 at 84-85). Third, Kentucky's own occupational safety and health act, a federally approved State plan, bound every employer to 'furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm' and to 'comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this chapter' (KRS 338.031(1), Ex. DUT-KY-010), on pain of civil penalties of up to $7,000 per serious violation and $70,000 per willful or repeated violation (KRS 338.991, Ex. DUT-KY-011); the Kentucky standards board adopted the federal general-industry standards by reference (803 KAR 2:300, Ex. DUT-KY-013; Subparts I and J through 803 KAR 2:308 and 2:309) and, on July 20, 2021, adopted OSHA's COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard for every covered Kentucky employer: 'an employer shall comply with 29 C.F.R. Part 1910, Subpart U' (803 KAR 2:330E sec. 2, Ex. DUT-KY-012). The Healthy at Work regime wrote the Labor Cabinet into enforcement: the requirements documents told restaurants and bars that those 'who fail to follow these requirements of the Executive Order will be subject to a fine and may also be subject to an order from a local health department or the Labor Cabinet requiring immediate closure' (Ex. KY-073), and every entity that failed to comply 'can be reported to KYSAFER at 833-KYSAFER or kysafer.ky.gov' (Ex. KY-018; Ex. DUT-KY-019). Fourth, the General Assembly's 2021 liability shield protected only the compliant: 'an owner who follows any executive action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the COVID-19 declared emergency' does not 'Assume responsibility, or incur liability, for any alleged injury, loss, or damage to persons or property arising from a COVID-19 claim,' where 'Executive action' means 'All orders and guidelines related to a COVID-19 declared emergency issued by the Governor or any state agency, the President of the United States or any federal agency, or a local governmental agency' and 'Industry-specific guidelines... adopted by a state agency that govern the industry' (2021 SB 5, Acts ch. 205, sec. 1(1)(d), (2), law April 11, 2021, retroactive to March 6, 2020, Ex. DUT-KY-014). Fifth, the Kentucky Food Code kept every retail food establishment under a permit that 'shall be suspended immediately upon notice to the permit holder without a hearing if... The cabinet has reason to believe that an imminent public health hazard exists' (902 KAR 45:005 sec. 7(2), Ex. DUT-KY-015), the vehicle by which the Cabinet's March 16, 2020 dine-in closure and its restaurant protocols were enforced. The Governor's orders wrote these duties into the pandemic regime in terms: every business permitted to operate 'must follow, to the fullest extent practicable, social distancing and hygiene guidance from the CDC and the Kentucky Department of Public Health. Failure to do so is a violation of this Order, and could subject said business to closure or additional penalties as authorized by law' (Ex. KY-010 para. 3); 'All entities shall implement and comply with the minimum requirements for all entities pursuant to subsequent Orders of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services' (Ex. KY-017 para. 3); and the Commonwealth's own FAQ told employers that 'each industry sector will have a list of requirements that they must meet in order to safely reopen. If a business fails to comply with those requirements, it will not be able to reopen' (Ex. DUT-KY-019). The Supreme Court of Kentucky upheld the whole structure in November 2020, holding that KRS 214.020, 211.025 and 211.180(1) 'provide a rational basis for the face covering and the social distancing measure' and that the orders 'shall have full force of law' upon filing (Ex. KY-032 at 57, 82).

The phase question

Whether the measures employers took beyond the four corners of the emergency orders were 'voluntary' within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were compelled by standing legal duties.

A SAFO contains important safety information and may include recommended action. SAFO content should be especially valuable to air carriers in meeting their statutory duty to provide service with the highest possible degree of safety in the public interest.... Recommended Action: The FAA and CDC recommend and expect that all U.S.-based air carriers and crewmembers, all non-U.S.-based air carriers operating flights with a U.S. nexus, and all non-U.S.-based crewmembers on flights with a U.S. nexus implement and use their company-developed COVID-19 preparedness plans and procedures in conjunction with the FAA and CDC occupational health and safety guidance in the attached appendix...

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).

Enforcement: none; the document defines what the ADA permits

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....

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. MET-SDF-026); WF (Ex. KY-010); WF workforce (Ex. MET-SDF-023); TV travel (Ex.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. Release: Mayor calls for temporary closures of libraries, community centers, Mary T.… (Ex. MET-SDF-026) was in force from Mar. 14, 2020 to Apr. 5, 2020, 23 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order No. 2020-002 (executed March 24, 2020) (Ex.

Of the 63 instruments in the quarter's record, 4 were in force on its first day, 41 on its last day and 2 on every day of the quarter; 2 carry no parsed date and are placed in the quarter by the record itself.

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.

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.

Second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2021 the Library holds 264 instruments in force for this selection: 32 instruments from the State of Kentucky (Governor Andy Beshear, Executive Order 2020-257 (Mar. 25, 2020) (Ex.

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. KY-010); WF (Ex. KY-010); SF (Ex. KY-010); DR (Ex. KY-018); DR dining room (Ex.

KY-010) ordered: "This Order should be construed broadly to prohibit in-person work that is not necessary to protect or sustain life.... 1. Only Life-Sustaining Businesses May Remain Open. All businesses that are not life-sustaining shall cease operations effective Thursday, March 26, 2020, at 8:00 p.m., except as…" Enforcement: Para. 3: closure or additional penalties; para. 8: 'Violations of these and other Orders issued pursuant to Executive Order 2020-215 are punishable as provided… Cabinet for Health and Family Services (Healthy at Work requirements incorporated by the CHFS order of May 9, 2020 amending the Mass Gatherings Order), Healthy at Work Requirements for Places of Worship, Version 1.1 (May 9, 2020) (Ex.

All…" Enforcement: Mandatory under EO 2020-323 para. 3 and CHFS orders; violation 'could subject said business to closure or additional penalties' 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 Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 91 days. Healthy at Work Requirements for Places of Worship, Version 1.1 (Ex. KY-067) was in force from May 9, 2020 to June 11, 2021, 72 of the quarter's 91 days; Healthy at Work Minimum Requirements for All Entities (version effective April 19, 2021) (Ex.

MET-SDF-020) was in force from Mar. 16, 2020 to June 15, 2021, 76 of the quarter's 91 days. Of the 47 instruments in the quarter's record, 28 were in force on its first day, 17 on its last day and 12 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 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.

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 five, the statute's answer.

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 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19.

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.

The COVID Project does not give legal advice, and this report is not a substitute for it. Take it to your accountant, your enrolled agent or your lawyer. The dates above are public law, and the decisions they call for are yours and your adviser's to make.
