1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Louisiana 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=LA&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.

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.

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.

Every phase proclamation declared a statewide state of emergency under La. R.S. 14:329.6 'for the purposes of allowing the chief law enforcement officer of any political subdivision to... promulgate orders for any provision therein, including a local curfew from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.' The only relaxation mechanism ran the other way: 89 JBE 2020 let a parish opt out of the face-covering requirement if its two-week incidence was below 100 per 100,000 (opt-out removed by 117 JBE 2020 on Sept. 11, 2020), and 117, 134, 158, 168 JBE 2020 and 209 JBE 2020, 6, 17 and 29 JBE 2021 let a parish at or below 5 percent positivity opt in to bar service. The Legislature's attempt to end the emergency by petition under La. R.S. 29:768(B) (Oct. 23, 2020) was declared void by the 19th Judicial District Court (Nov. 12, 2020) and had no effect on any instrument; the Governor's proclamations were renewed without interruption.

5. Standing duties in Louisiana

Louisiana law placed every person, every employer and every owner or operator of premises under standing duties that made the pandemic measures compulsory from March 11, 2020 through the third quarter of 2021 and beyond. Title 40 commands the state health officer to 'prepare, promulgate, and enforce' the Sanitary Code, and requires that the Code 'provide for and require... application and implementation of appropriate control measures to expressly include isolation and quarantine proceedings and measures, for all communicable diseases of public health significance' (R.S. 40:4(A)(2), Ex. DUT-LA-001); paragraph (A)(13) makes the state health officer 'expressly empowered and authorized to issue emergency rules and orders when necessary and for the purposes of controlling... communicable, contagious, and infectious diseases, and any other danger to the public life, health, and safety.' R.S. 40:5 vests in the state health officer and the office of public health 'exclusive jurisdiction, control, and authority' to 'isolate or quarantine for the care and control of communicable disease,' to 'take such action as is necessary to accomplish the subsidence and suppression of diseases of all kinds in order to prevent their spread,' over 'all places of public accommodation' and 'the sanitary conditions required at any public gathering or meeting' (Ex. DUT-LA-002). R.S. 40:6 makes any violation of the Sanitary Code a crime, makes a violation of its isolation or quarantine provisions punishable by up to two years, authorizes the district attorney to enjoin any violation 'when necessary to arrest or prevent epidemics or to abate any imminent menace to the public health,' and adds civil fines of up to $100 per day per violation (Ex. DUT-LA-003). R.S. 40:7 directs the state health officer to quarantine an infected parish or municipality and provides that the resulting rules 'shall be observed and obeyed' (Ex. DUT-LA-004). The Sanitary Code itself (LAC 51:II.117) makes it the state health officer's 'duty' to institute control measures whenever a case of communicable disease occurs and to declare any 'house, building, apartment, room, or place' where a case occurs a place of quarantine, makes it 'a violation of this code for any person to enter or leave any quarantined area,' and gives locality-quarantine rules 'the same force and authority as this code' (Ex. DUT-LA-005). Every one of the Governor's COVID-19 proclamations recited these powers, expressly empowering the Secretary of Health and the State Health Officer 'to take any and all actions authorized thereto under Titles 29 and 40 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes and under the State Sanitary Code (LAC Title 51)' (Exs. LA-012 sec. 1(C), LA-023, LA-029, LA-036). The emergency statutes made obedience to every proclamation a legal duty enforced by criminal penalty: under R.S. 29:724(A) the Governor's 'proclamations, and regulations so issued shall have the force and effect of law,' and under R.S. 29:724(E) 'any person or representative of any firm, partnership, or corporation violating any order, rule, or regulation promulgated pursuant to this Chapter, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or confined in the parish jail for not more than six months, or both' (Ex. DUT-LA-006); the Louisiana Health Emergency Powers Act, under which Proclamation 25 JBE 2020 issued, declares that 'the government must do all that is reasonable and necessary to protect the health and safety of its citizens' (R.S. 29:761, Ex. DUT-LA-017), empowers the Governor to 'control ingress and egress to and from a disaster area, the movement of persons within the area, and the occupancy of premises therein' (R.S. 29:766(D)(7), Ex. DUT-LA-007), and empowers the State 'to close, direct and compel evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any facility of which there is a reasonable cause to believe that it may endanger the public health' (R.S. 29:769(A)(1), Ex. DUT-LA-008); every proclamation from Phase 1 forward also declared a state of emergency 'pursuant to La. R.S. 14:329.6,' under which local chief law enforcement officers may order the 'closing of places of amusement and assembly' and regulate 'the occupancy and use of buildings,' with a $500 or six-month penalty under R.S. 14:329.7 (Exs. DUT-LA-009, DUT-LA-015); parish presidents held parallel powers over 'the occupancy of premises' under R.S. 29:727(F)(7) (Ex. DUT-LA-016). Every Louisiana employer was bound by R.S. 23:13 to 'furnish employment which shall be reasonably safe for the employees therein,' to 'adopt and use methods and processes reasonably adequate to render such employment and the place of employment safe,' and to 'do every other thing reasonably necessary to protect the life, health, safety and welfare of such employees' (Ex. DUT-LA-010), and by the federal general duty clause. In June 2020 the Legislature enacted three liability shields, each retroactive to March 11, 2020, and each protecting only the business that 'substantially compl[ied] with the applicable COVID-19 procedures established by the federal, state, or local agency which governs the business operations' (Acts 2020, No. 336, R.S. 9:2800.25(A), Ex. DUT-LA-011; Acts 2020, No. 362, R.S. 29:773(A), Ex. DUT-LA-012) or, for restaurants, 'in substantial compliance with Proclamation Number 25 JBE 2020 and any subsequent related proclamations and applicable COVID-19 procedures established by a federal, state, or local agency' (Acts 2020, No. 305, Ex. DUT-LA-013): the Legislature made compliance with the health protocols the legal standard of care. The proclamations made continued operation conditional in terms: the stay-at-home order required every non-CISA business to 'reduce operations to continue with minimum contact with members of the public and essential employees, while requiring proper social distancing' (Ex. LA-005 sec. 6); Phase 1 through Phase 3 allowed each sector to operate only 'under the following conditions,' capped occupancy 'as determined by the State Fire Marshal,' required that 'all businesses and organizations shall require that any owner or employee having interaction or contact with the public shall wear a mask or a face covering,' and provided that 'any business operating pursuant to this subsection shall follow the applicable guidance from the State Fire Marshal published at opensafely.la.gov and the Louisiana Department of Health with regard to sanitization and disinfection' (Exs. LA-012, LA-023, LA-029); the statewide face-covering orders required 'all businesses or organizations... [to] require all persons who enter the premises to wear a face covering' and provided that 'citations under this Section shall be written only to businesses or organizations... that fail to enforce the requirement' (Exs. LA-014 sec. 4, LA-023 sec. 3, LA-036 sec. 2). The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district courts' refusal to enjoin the bar-closure proclamations, holding the orders 'at least rationally related to reducing the spread of COVID-19' (Big Tyme Investments, L.L.C. v. Edwards, No. 20-30526 (5th Cir. Jan. 13, 2021), Ex. DUT-LA-014), as the Eastern District of Louisiana had done in 4 Aces Enterprises, LLC v. Edwards (Ex. LA-075). Where the text of an instrument recommends rather than commands (the proclamations' 'strongly encouraged' clauses for individual masking before July 13, 2020; the 'is encouraged to follow' clause for shopping malls in 66 JBE 2021; the 'should' sentences of the Open Safely and Return to Work guidance), the records say so, and the legal effect of guidance is located in the proclamation clause that incorporates it with the verb 'shall follow.'

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 Louisiana 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 274 instruments in force for this selection: 34 instruments from the State of Louisiana (Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 33 JBE 2020 (Mar. 22, 2020) (Ex. LA-005); Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 41 JBE 2020 (Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. LA-007); Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 52 JBE 2020 (Apr. 30, 2020) (Ex. LA-009); and 31 more), 19 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of Louisiana (Louisiana Gaming Control Board, Chairman Ronnie Jones, COVID-19 Emergency Order No. 12 (LGCB-5551-20): Gaming Reopening Guidelines (May 12, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-058); Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (Secretary James M. LeBlanc), DPS&C Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response notice of Mar. 12, 2020 (inmate notification of visiting suspension) (Ex. AGY-ST-CORRECTIONS-EMA-GUARD-026); Louisiana Gaming Control Board, Chairman Ronnie Jones, Order of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (LGCB-5531-20): Order Closing Casinos (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-050); and 16 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 42 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 40 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: WF workforce (Ex. LA-005); CB (Ex. LA-007); BA/FB host establishments (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-053); CB jackpot-ticket periods (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-066); CL (Ex. LA-062); GATH (Ex. LA-007); OP regulatory deadlines (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-066); PJ (Ex. LA-062); PR elective procedures (Ex. LA-048); SF casino floors closed (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-052).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 33 JBE 2020 (Mar. 22, 2020) (Ex. LA-005) ordered: "SECTION 1: All state office buildings are closed to the public, effective immediately.... SECTION 2:... all gatherings of 10 people or more shall be postponed or cancelled.... SECTION 3:... all individuals within the state of Louisiana are under a general stay-at-home order and are directed to stay…" Enforcement: Section 6: 'The Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness is directed to ensure compliance with this order, and is empowered to exercise… Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 41 JBE 2020 (Apr. 2, 2020) (Ex. LA-007) ordered: "SECTION 2: STAY AT HOME ORDER... all individuals within the state of Louisiana are under a general stay-at-home order and are directed to stay home unless performing an essential activity... SECTION 13: Unless otherwise provided in this order, these provisions are effective from Thursday, April 2…" Enforcement: Section 11 GOHSEP compliance direction; La. R.S. 29:724(E) Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 52 JBE 2020 (Apr. 30, 2020) (Ex. LA-009) ordered: "SECTION 2: STAY AT HOME ORDER... all individuals within the state of Louisiana are under a general stay-at-home order and are directed to stay home unless performing an essential activity... SECTION 15: Unless otherwise provided in this order, these provisions are effective from Friday, May 1, 2020…" Enforcement: Section 13 GOHSEP and State Fire Marshal compliance direction; La. R.S. 29:724(E) 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 33 JBE 2020 (Ex. LA-005) was in force from Mar. 23, 2020 to Apr. 13, 2020, 22 of the quarter's 110 days; Proclamation 41 JBE 2020 (Ex. LA-007) was in force from Apr. 2, 2020 to Apr. 30, 2020, 29 of the quarter's 110 days; Proclamation 52 JBE 2020 (Ex. LA-009) was in force from May 1, 2020 to May 15, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 53 instruments in the quarter's record, 4 were in force on its first day, 24 on its last day and 1 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 237 instruments in force for this selection: 24 instruments from the State of Louisiana (Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 83 JBE 2020 (June 25, 2020) (Ex. LA-013); Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 96 JBE 2020 (July 23, 2020) (Ex. LA-015); Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 101 JBE 2020 (Aug. 6, 2020) (Ex. LA-016); and 21 more), 4 instruments from the agencies, boards and authorities of Louisiana (Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (Secretary James M. LeBlanc), DPS&C Coronavirus (COVID-19) Response notice of Mar. 12, 2020 (inmate notification of visiting suspension) (Ex. AGY-ST-CORRECTIONS-EMA-GUARD-026); Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, LA DPS&C 'Summary of COVID-19 Response' (Apr. 9, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-CORRECTIONS-EMA-GUARD-027); Louisiana Gaming Control Board (Resolution; executed by Vice Chairman Mark Stipe), Resolution and COVID-19 Emergency Order No. 15 (LGCB-5565-20.A) (June 5, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-GAMING-RACING-060); and 1 more), 163 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex.

FED-097); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-30-NH, Nursing Home Reopening Recommendations for State and Local Officials (May 18, 2020; REVISED Mar. 10, 2021; expired Mar. 10, 2021) (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 44 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: WF workforce (Ex. LA-072); EMP (Ex. LA-077); MASK (Ex. LA-015); SF (Ex. LA-016); BA (Ex. LA-016); BA bars (Ex. LA-069); DR (Ex. LA-016); DR 50% (Ex. LA-013); GATH (Ex. LA-016); HR staff screening (Ex. LA-072).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 83 JBE 2020 (June 25, 2020) (Ex. LA-013) ordered: "H) To further prevent the spread of COVID-19 at large indoor gatherings, there shall be a crowd size limitation of no more than 250 people in a single indoor space at the same time where individuals will be in close proximity to one another and unable to maintain strict social distancing.... Church…" Enforcement: GOHSEP; State Fire Marshal; La. R.S. 29:724(E) Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 96 JBE 2020 (July 23, 2020) (Ex. LA-015) ordered: "No bar, with or without a food service permit from the Louisiana Department of Health, shall allow for on premises consumption of any food or drinks... To further prevent the spread of COVID-19, crowd sizes shall be limited to no more than 50 people in any single indoor space at the same time... No…" Enforcement: GOHSEP; State Fire Marshal; citations to businesses failing to enforce masks; La. R.S. 29:724(E) Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 101 JBE 2020 (Aug. 6, 2020) (Ex. LA-016) ordered: "No bar, with or without a food service permit from the Louisiana Department of Health, shall allow for on premises consumption of any food or drinks... crowd sizes shall be limited to no more than 50 people in any single indoor space at the same time... No establishment shall exceed 50% of the total…" Enforcement: GOHSEP; State Fire Marshal; La. R.S. 29:724(E) 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 July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020, 92 days. Proclamation 83 JBE 2020 (Ex. LA-013) was in force from June 26, 2020 to July 24, 2020, 24 of the quarter's 92 days; Proclamation 96 JBE 2020 (Ex.

LA-016) was in force from Aug. 7, 2020 to Aug. 28, 2020, 22 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 28 instruments in the quarter's record, 12 were in force on its first day, 17 on its last day and 7 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 third 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.

Fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the fourth quarter of 2020 the Library holds 235 instruments in force for this selection: 20 instruments from the State of Louisiana (Governor John Bel Edwards, Proclamation 117 JBE 2020 (Sept. 11, 2020) (Ex.

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 fourth 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.

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.
