1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Iowa and no metropolitan area (elsewhere in the State). 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=IA&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.

[As CMS restated it in QSO-20-39-NH:] In March of 2020, CMS issued memorandum QSO 20-14-NH providing guidance to facilities on restricting visitation of all visitors and non-essential healthcare personnel, except for certain compassionate care situations, such as an end-of-life situation. [QSO-20-14-NH revised text:] Facilities should actively screen and restrict visitation by those who meet the following criteria...

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.

End of general restrictions, State of Iowa: Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of February 5, 2021 (IA-035), effective 12:01 a.m. February 7, 2021 (2021-02-07). What remained: The Public Health Disaster Emergency itself (renewed monthly to February 15, 2022; IA-036 to IA-043); the order that dental services be provided only in compliance with the Iowa Dental Board's Guidelines for the Safe Transition Back to Practice, enforced by Board investigators with peace-officer powers (through June 26, 2021; IA-037, IA-038); the order that hospitals, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, residential care facilities, hospice programs and assisted living programs screen all staff each shift (through May 30, 2021; IA-037); the in-person-instruction directives (IA-037, IA-038; SF 160, IA-045); the health-care regulatory suspensions (certificate of need, 1135 waivers, out-of-state licensure) to February 15, 2022; the Iowa Supreme Court's mask, distancing and scheduling orders (IA-053, IA-054, IA-055, IA-056); HF 847 and HF 889 from May 20, 2021 (IA-046, IA-047); local face-covering orders (Iowa City, Linn County, Johnson County) until HF 847 and, in Q3 2021, Iowa City's August 19 order and Linn County's August 9 facilities rule; the Arc of Iowa TRO of September 13, 2021 (IA-057) and the school-district mask requirements that followed it.

Preemption of local orders, State of Iowa: Iowa's Governor took the position from July 2020 that cities and counties could not impose mask mandates or other COVID-19 orders because Iowa Code ch. 29C and § 135.144 vest the public-health-disaster power in the Governor and the Department of Public Health and local rules must be 'consistent with' the Governor's proclamations; the Attorney General's office stated in July 2020 that 'a local regulation requiring masks would not be consistent with the governor's declarations' (Iowa Public Radio, July 21, 2020), and the Polk County Board of Supervisors declined a county mandate on August 28, 2020 because 'the Governor of Iowa has eliminated the ability of local governments to enact common sense practices' (IA-066). Iowa City (July 21, 2020, and again August 19, 2021), Johnson County (August 6, 2020, under Iowa Code § 137.104), Waterloo (August 17, 2020, under home rule, Iowa Const. art. III, § 38A and Iowa Code ch. 364), Des Moines, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Ames, Muscatine and Linn County (November 18, 2020) issued face-covering orders anyway, several with simple-misdemeanor penalties; none was enjoined. The Legislature then preempted by statute: HF 847, §§ 29-30 (Iowa Code §§ 331.301(19), 364.3(14)), effective May 20, 2021, provides that a county or city 'shall not adopt an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment, or use any other means, that requires the owner of real property to implement a policy relating to the use of facial coverings that is more stringent than a policy imposed by the state,' and § 28 (Iowa Code § 280.31) bars school mask policies; the school provision was enjoined September 13, 2021 (IA-057). Iowa City's August 19, 2021 order rested on the statute's limitation to 'the owner of real property' and imposed the duty on persons instead; the Governor's office called it unlawful but did not sue.

What remained: The Public Health Disaster Emergency itself (renewed monthly to February 15, 2022; IA-036 to IA-043); the order that dental services be provided only in compliance with the Iowa Dental Board's Guidelines for the Safe Transition Back to Practice, enforced by Board investigators with peace-officer powers (through June 26, 2021; IA-037, IA-038); the order that hospitals, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, residential care facilities, hospice programs and assisted living programs screen all staff each shift (through May 30, 2021; IA-037); the in-person-instruction directives (IA-037, IA-038; SF 160, IA-045); the health-care regulatory suspensions (certificate of need, 1135 waivers, out-of-state licensure) to February 15, 2022; the Iowa Supreme Court's mask, distancing and scheduling orders (IA-053, IA-054, IA-055, IA-056); HF 847 and HF 889 from May 20, 2021 (IA-046, IA-047); local face-covering orders (Iowa City, Linn County, Johnson County) until HF 847 and, in Q3 2021, Iowa City's August 19 order and Linn County's August 9 facilities rule; the Arc of Iowa TRO of September 13, 2021 (IA-057) and the school-district mask requirements that followed it.

Preemption of local orders, State of Iowa: Iowa's Governor took the position from July 2020 that cities and counties could not impose mask mandates or other COVID-19 orders because Iowa Code ch. 29C and § 135.144 vest the public-health-disaster power in the Governor and the Department of Public Health and local rules must be 'consistent with' the Governor's proclamations; the Attorney General's office stated in July 2020 that 'a local regulation requiring masks would not be consistent with the governor's declarations' (Iowa Public Radio, July 21, 2020), and the Polk County Board of Supervisors declined a county mandate on August 28, 2020 because 'the Governor of Iowa has eliminated the ability of local governments to enact common sense practices' (IA-066). Iowa City (July 21, 2020, and again August 19, 2021), Johnson County (August 6, 2020, under Iowa Code § 137.104), Waterloo (August 17, 2020, under home rule, Iowa Const. art. III, § 38A and Iowa Code ch. 364), Des Moines, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Ames, Muscatine and Linn County (November 18, 2020) issued face-covering orders anyway, several with simple-misdemeanor penalties; none was enjoined. The Legislature then preempted by statute: HF 847, §§ 29-30 (Iowa Code §§ 331.301(19), 364.3(14)), effective May 20, 2021, provides that a county or city 'shall not adopt an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment, or use any other means, that requires the owner of real property to implement a policy relating to the use of facial coverings that is more stringent than a policy imposed by the state,' and § 28 (Iowa Code § 280.31) bars school mask policies; the school provision was enjoined September 13, 2021 (IA-057). Iowa City's August 19, 2021 order rested on the statute's limitation to 'the owner of real property' and imposed the duty on persons instead; the Governor's office called it unlawful but did not sue.

End of general restrictions, State of Iowa: Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of February 5, 2021 (IA-035), effective 12:01 a.m. February 7, 2021 (2021-02-07). What remained: The Public Health Disaster Emergency itself (renewed monthly to February 15, 2022; IA-036 to IA-043); the order that dental services be provided only in compliance with the Iowa Dental Board's Guidelines for the Safe Transition Back to Practice, enforced by Board investigators with peace-officer powers (through June 26, 2021; IA-037, IA-038); the order that hospitals, nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, residential care facilities, hospice programs and assisted living programs screen all staff each shift (through May 30, 2021; IA-037); the in-person-instruction directives (IA-037, IA-038; SF 160, IA-045); the health-care regulatory suspensions (certificate of need, 1135 waivers, out-of-state licensure) to February 15, 2022; the Iowa Supreme Court's mask, distancing and scheduling orders (IA-053, IA-054, IA-055, IA-056); HF 847 and HF 889 from May 20, 2021 (IA-046, IA-047); local face-covering orders (Iowa City, Linn County, Johnson County) until HF 847 and, in Q3 2021, Iowa City's August 19 order and Linn County's August 9 facilities rule; the Arc of Iowa TRO of September 13, 2021 (IA-057) and the school-district mask requirements that followed it.

Preemption of local orders, State of Iowa: Iowa's Governor took the position from July 2020 that cities and counties could not impose mask mandates or other COVID-19 orders because Iowa Code ch. 29C and § 135.144 vest the public-health-disaster power in the Governor and the Department of Public Health and local rules must be 'consistent with' the Governor's proclamations; the Attorney General's office stated in July 2020 that 'a local regulation requiring masks would not be consistent with the governor's declarations' (Iowa Public Radio, July 21, 2020), and the Polk County Board of Supervisors declined a county mandate on August 28, 2020 because 'the Governor of Iowa has eliminated the ability of local governments to enact common sense practices' (IA-066). Iowa City (July 21, 2020, and again August 19, 2021), Johnson County (August 6, 2020, under Iowa Code § 137.104), Waterloo (August 17, 2020, under home rule, Iowa Const. art. III, § 38A and Iowa Code ch. 364), Des Moines, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Ames, Muscatine and Linn County (November 18, 2020) issued face-covering orders anyway, several with simple-misdemeanor penalties; none was enjoined. The Legislature then preempted by statute: HF 847, §§ 29-30 (Iowa Code §§ 331.301(19), 364.3(14)), effective May 20, 2021, provides that a county or city 'shall not adopt an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment, or use any other means, that requires the owner of real property to implement a policy relating to the use of facial coverings that is more stringent than a policy imposed by the state,' and § 28 (Iowa Code § 280.31) bars school mask policies; the school provision was enjoined September 13, 2021 (IA-057). Iowa City's August 19, 2021 order rested on the statute's limitation to 'the owner of real property' and imposed the duty on persons instead; the Governor's office called it unlawful but did not sue.

5. Standing duties in Iowa

Iowa's standing law made the pandemic protocols compulsory through five interlocking layers, each in force every day of the six quarters. First, the communicable-disease statute: Iowa Code chapter 139A empowers the Department of Public Health and every local board of health to 'impose and enforce isolation and quarantine restrictions' and 'area quarantine restrictions' (section 139A.4; DUT-IA-001), the public-health-disaster subchapter authorizes the Department, with the Governor, to 'take reasonable measures as necessary to prevent the transmission of infectious disease' and to isolate or quarantine individuals or groups (section 135.144(3), (8); DUT-IA-002), and the Department's rules make an isolation or quarantine order operative on issuance and permit 'exclusion of individuals or groups from... workplace' (641 IAC ch. 1; DUT-IA-012). Second, the offense layer: knowing violation of any lawful order of the Department is a simple misdemeanor (section 135.38, in the Code since 1873; DUT-IA-004), so is knowing violation of any lawful order under chapter 139A or of a local board (sections 139A.25, 137.117; DUT-IA-010, DUT-IA-008), peace officers 'shall enforce' the Department's orders when called upon (section 135.35; DUT-IA-011), and a peace officer may arrest without warrant any person violating an order made under chapter 29C (section 29C.18(2); DUT-IA-005). Every proclamation from April 2, 2020 called all peace officers of the State to enforce it under sections 29C.18 and 135.35 (IA-007 section 9), and the Department of Public Safety and the Department of Public Health told the public on March 17, 2020 that 'a violation of such orders is a crime' (DUT-IA-013); the Attorney General repeated it on June 3, 2020 (DUT-IA-009). Third, the workplace duty: Iowa is a State-plan State whose Occupational Safety and Health Act requires every employer to furnish 'a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm' (section 88.4(1); DUT-IA-006), enforced by civil penalties at the federal amounts (section 88.14), with every federal Part 1910 standard adopted as Iowa law by rule 875-10.20(88) (DUT-IA-018) and the federal COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard adopted by reference effective July 22, 2021 (ARC 5847C; DUT-IA-015; FED-080). Fourth, the liability shield: Senate File 2338, signed June 18, 2020 and retroactive to January 1, 2020, codified as Iowa Code chapter 686D, withholds its protection from a person who 'recklessly disregards a substantial and unnecessary risk' of exposure and grants its safe harbor only where the act or omission 'was in substantial compliance or was consistent with any federal or state statute, regulation, order, or public health guidance related to COVID-19' (sections 686D.4, 686D.5; DUT-IA-007); 'public health guidance' is defined to include written CDC, CMS, OSHA, Governor's Office and Iowa Department of Public Health guidance. Fifth, the licensing layer: the Alcoholic Beverages Division and the Department of Inspections and Appeals enforced the proclamations' distancing and hygiene conditions against bars and restaurants through license sanctions under section 123.39 (civil penalty to $1,000 per violation, suspension to one year, revocation; DUT-IA-003), filing 56 hearing complaints for 'COVID-19 Proclamation Violation' in FY2021 on 938 COVID-19 complaints (DUT-IA-014). The proclamations themselves wrote the protocols into the permission to operate: from April 27, 2020 a restaurant 'may reopen... but only to the extent that it complies with the following requirements,' including that it 'shall also implement reasonable measures... consistent with guidance issued by the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals and the Iowa Department of Public Health' (IA-012); from April 16, 2020 in fourteen counties and from November 11, 2020 statewide, 'All employers shall evaluate whether any more of their employees can feasibly work remotely and to the extent reasonable, shall take steps to enable such employees to work from home,' and employers open in person 'shall take reasonable precautions... including appropriate employee screening, social distancing practices, and increased cleaning and hygiene practices' (IA-010, IA-029, IA-030); dental services could resume from May 8, 2020 only 'in compliance with the Guidelines for the Safe Transition Back to Practice adopted by the Iowa Dental Board' and every other dental procedure 'continue[d] to be prohibited' through June 26, 2021 (IA-014, IA-035); health facilities were ordered to screen all staff every shift from March 27, 2020 to May 30, 2021 (IA-005, IA-035). The February 5, 2021 proclamation converted the general employer section to 'I strongly encourage' (recommendation) while keeping the dental and screening orders mandatory (IA-035). The Iowa Supreme Court's opinion in Riley Drive Entertainment I, Inc. v. Reynolds (Feb. 18, 2022) records that the plaintiff bars 'were required to close temporarily as a result of the Governor's August 27 order' and that the district court held the order a 'reasonable' and 'necessary' measure under section 135.144(3); the Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal as moot without reaching the merits (DUT-IA-017).

The phase question

Whether the pandemic measures Iowa employers took beyond the closure and capacity terms of the Governor's proclamations were 'voluntary' (Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14) or were compelled by standing legal duties.

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).

Acts of retaliation can include terminations, demotions, denials of overtime or promotion, or reductions in pay or hours. 'Employees have the right to safe and healthy workplaces,' said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Loren Sweatt.

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.... An employer may exclude those with COVID-19, or symptoms associated with COVID-19, from the workplace because, as EEOC has stated, their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

6. Partial suspension, element by element, for this business

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business in Iowa with the instruments this report found for the quarters selected and no others: the order; the function of the business it reached; the change it compelled, in its own words; the days of the quarter on which it was in force; and the statute's answer. Where the Library holds only federal-layer and standing-duty instruments for a quarter, the section says so and applies the test to those instruments.

Second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 252 instruments in force for this selection: 28 instruments from the State of Iowa (Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of April 27, 2020 (Part 1: reopening in 77 counties; statewide continued closures; gatherings) (Apr. 27, 2020) (Ex. IA-012); Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (statewide reopening at 50 percent) (May 13, 2020) (Ex. IA-015); Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (movie theaters, museums, zoos, pools; summer school; wedding receptions; auctions) (May 20, 2020) (Ex. IA-016); and 25 more), 4 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of Iowa (Board of Regents President Michael Richards, Update from Board of Regents President Mike Richards on Coronavirus (March 14, 2020) (Mar. 14, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-EDUCATION-HIGHER-ED-045); Iowa Department of Corrections (Director Beth Skinner), Iowa DOC COVID-19 page, 'Iowa Corrections-Specific Responses to COVID-19: Changes Effective Immediately (updated 3/14/20)' (Mar. 14, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-CORRECTIONS-EMA-GUARD-075); Board of Regents, State of Iowa (Executive Director Mark Braun), Board of Regents Agenda Item 3, April 30, 2020, 'Update on Loss of Revenue and Increased Expenses Related to COVID-19' (Apr. 30, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-EDUCATION-HIGHER-ED-065); and 1 more), 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 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. FED-190); and 176 more) and 41 standing duties (Congress (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5, Pub. 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 39 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 payers (Ex. IA-005); CL closings (Ex. IA-004); FC fitness 50 percent (Ex. IA-015); GATH events of more than 10 prohibited (Ex. IA-012); ML/SF malls and retail 50 percent (Ex. IA-015); OF/OP offices (Ex. IA-010); PM property management (Ex. IA-003); WF workforce (Ex. IA-007); WS worship gatherings of more than 10 prohibited (Ex. IA-002); AC athletics revenue (Ex. AGY-ST-EDUCATION-HIGHER-ED-065).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of April 27, 2020 (Part 1: reopening in 77 counties; statewide continued closures; gatherings) (Apr. 27, 2020) (Ex. IA-012) ordered: "REOPENING OF BUSINESSES AND ESTABLISHMENTS (All counties except [the 22 listed]). SECTION TWO.... effective at 5:00 a.m. on May 1, 2020 and until 11:59 p.m. on May 15, 2020: A. Restaurants: A restaurant may reopen to serve food and beverages on its premises, but only to the extent that it complies…" Enforcement: Iowa Code § 135.144(3); peace officers under the continued Section Nine of IA-007; state agencies monitor Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (statewide reopening at 50 percent) (May 13, 2020) (Ex. IA-015) ordered: "REOPENING OF BUSINESSES AND ESTABLISHMENTS (Statewide). SECTION TWO.... effective at 5:00 a.m. on May 15, 2020 and until 11:59 p.m. on May 27, 2020: A. Restaurants: A restaurant may reopen or remain open to serve food and beverages on its premises, but only to the extent that it complies with the…" Enforcement: Iowa Code § 135.144(3); peace officers under continued enforcement section Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (movie theaters, museums, zoos, pools; summer school; wedding receptions; auctions) (May 20, 2020) (Ex. IA-016) ordered: "SECTION TWO.... effective at 5:00 a.m. on May 22, 2020 and until 11:59 p.m. on May 27, 2020: A. Movie Theaters: Any theater at which motion pictures are shown may reopen, but only to the extent that the theater complies with the following requirements: (1) Capacity limited: The theater must limit…" Enforcement: Iowa Code § 135.144(3); Section Ten: 'all peace officers of the state continue to be called upon to assist in the enforcement of the provisions of this… 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. Proclamation of Disaster Emergency of April 27, 2020 (Part 1: reopening in 77 counties… (Ex. IA-012) was in force from May 1, 2020 to May 15, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days; Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (statewide reopening at 50 percent) (Ex. IA-015) was in force from May 15, 2020 to May 27, 2020, 13 of the quarter's 110 days; Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (movie theaters, museums, zoos, pools; summer school… (Ex. IA-016) was in force from May 22, 2020 to May 27, 2020, 6 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 32 instruments in the quarter's record, 2 were in force on its first day, 16 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. In the third quarter of 2020 the Library holds 236 instruments in force for this selection: 23 instruments from the State of Iowa (Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (conditional resumption of surgeries; farmers markets) (Apr. 24, 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.

IA-044); AM casino position spacing (Ex. IA-018); BA bars closed in Iowa City and Ames (Ex. IA-026).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Kim Reynolds, Proclamation of Disaster Emergency (conditional resumption of surgeries; farmers markets) (Apr. 24, 2020) (Ex. IA-011) ordered: "NONESSENTIAL OR ELECTIVE SURGERIES AND PROCEDURES. SECTION ONE.... effective at 5:00 a.m. on April 27, 2020... A.

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.
