1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Maine 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.

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.

Enforcement: Recommendations; made mandatory by State elective-procedure orders and referenced in CMS survey guidance

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.

Governor Mills' Plan for Restarting Maine's Economy gradually and safely allows for certain health care services to reopen in Stage One. This includes: 'Health care from Maine licensed providers, with a recommendation that they prioritize care for patients with time-sensitive conditions; assure the safety of patients, staff, and communities; manage the use of essential resources such as personal protective equipment and testing supplies; and pace reopening services to the level of community COVID-19 activity, maintaining capacity in our hospitals for potential outbreaks.'... For health care providers (and businesses), reopening is optional and subject to their adoption of safety recommendations described below. Adoption of such guidelines will be deemed as an approval for reopening services... Until that point, dental providers continue to be encouraged to safely provide urgent care.

The Court's most recent PMOs provide for scheduling and hearing of almost all case types, on two conditions: (1) the case must be one that can be addressed by video or telephone conference and (2) judicial resources will be directed to priority case types first.... We are particularly guided by the State of Maine's COVID-19 Prevention Checklists for General Guidance and for Industry Guidance on Public and Community Buildings.

End of general restrictions, State of Maine: EO 38 FY 20/21 (May 13, 2021) lifting indoor gathering and in-store customer limits, and EO 39 FY 20/21 (May 19, 2021) repealing the general face-covering mandate, both effective May 24, 2021 (ME-057, ME-058); the State of Civil Emergency and every remaining COVID-19 Executive Order without its own termination date expired at midnight June 30, 2021 under the June 11, 2021 renewal proclamation and EO 40 FY 20/21 (ME-059, ME-060) (2021-05-24 (capacity and general masking); 2021-06-30 (emergency, school and child-care masking, EO 57 travel order, all other general orders)). What remained: After May 24, 2021: face coverings in schools and child-care settings (EO 14 FY 20/21 § I(A)(3), preserved by EO 39 § I(A)(2)) and physical distancing where people eat or drink, both to June 30, 2021; the State of Civil Emergency and EO 57 travel order (as amended) to June 30, 2021. After June 30, 2021 (EO 40 FY 20/21 § II): the Insurance Emergency to July 31, 2021; EO 16 FY 19/20 § I(F), EO 20 FY 19/20 (family child care), EO 27 FY 19/20 and EO 35 FY 19/20 § I(A) (health-care licensing and telehealth) to August 30, 2021; EO 52 FY 19/20 (education) to August 31, 2021; EO 23 FY 20/21 to September 30, 2021; EO 3 FY 20/21 (MaineCare) and EO 46 FY 19/20 to December 31, 2021; EO 48 FY 19/20 to six months after the federal PHE. New in Q3 2021: the Maine CDC emergency rule of August 12, 2021 (10-144 C.M.R. ch. 264) requiring COVID-19 immunization of health-care, EMS and dental employees (ME-061); the Judicial Branch's PPMO-SJC-1 as revised August 16, 2021 reinstating courthouse face coverings (ME-074); the DHHS-declared public health emergency effective July 1, 2021 recited in the rule; the federal conveyance mask order, TSA directives, OSHA Healthcare ETS and the other federal instruments in the FED files.

Preemption of local orders, State of Maine: Maine did not bar local orders. EO 28 FY 19/20 § V (March 31, 2020) set a floor, not a ceiling: 'This Order preempts any local ordinance or emergency order of the same subject matter that is less restrictive than or otherwise inconsistent with this Order.' Stricter local orders survived: Portland's City Manager issued a stay-at-home emergency order under Portland City Code ch. 2, §§ 2-406 and 2-408 effective 5 p.m. March 25, 2020, a week before the State's order, the City Council extended it on April 27, 2020 to May 18, and the City folded it into the Governor's orders on May 4, 2020 (ME-089 to ME-091). EO 2 FY 20/21 § II (July 8, 2020) affirmatively authorized municipalities 'to enforce the use of face coverings on streets and sidewalks, in parks and other public spaces... and to enforce the gathering limits' (ME-029). No statute or order barred municipal or school-board mask or gathering rules in 2021; after June 30, 2021 the State's position was that its recommendations were 'recommendations, not requirements' (Governor's release, July 28, 2021), leaving local school boards and municipalities free to act.

Maine's State of Civil Emergency and the mandated use of face coverings indoors ended on June 30, 2021.... Because of these changes, the Court determined that there was no longer a need to require all members of the public to wear face coverings in court facilities, but there was still a need for some precautions. Therefore, PPMO-SJC-1(A) (issued June 1, 2021) was amended and PPMO-SJC-1(B) (issued June 1, 2021) was deleted and replaced effective July 1, 2021. Due to an increase in the number of infections statewide, the Court, in the revision of August 16, 2021, reinstated the face covering requirements that were in place under PPMO-SJC-1(A) and (B) (issued June 1, 2021).

End of general restrictions, State of Maine: EO 38 FY 20/21 (May 13, 2021) lifting indoor gathering and in-store customer limits, and EO 39 FY 20/21 (May 19, 2021) repealing the general face-covering mandate, both effective May 24, 2021 (ME-057, ME-058); the State of Civil Emergency and every remaining COVID-19 Executive Order without its own termination date expired at midnight June 30, 2021 under the June 11, 2021 renewal proclamation and EO 40 FY 20/21 (ME-059, ME-060) (2021-05-24 (capacity and general masking); 2021-06-30 (emergency, school and child-care masking, EO 57 travel order, all other general orders)). What remained: After May 24, 2021: face coverings in schools and child-care settings (EO 14 FY 20/21 § I(A)(3), preserved by EO 39 § I(A)(2)) and physical distancing where people eat or drink, both to June 30, 2021; the State of Civil Emergency and EO 57 travel order (as amended) to June 30, 2021. After June 30, 2021 (EO 40 FY 20/21 § II): the Insurance Emergency to July 31, 2021; EO 16 FY 19/20 § I(F), EO 20 FY 19/20 (family child care), EO 27 FY 19/20 and EO 35 FY 19/20 § I(A) (health-care licensing and telehealth) to August 30, 2021; EO 52 FY 19/20 (education) to August 31, 2021; EO 23 FY 20/21 to September 30, 2021; EO 3 FY 20/21 (MaineCare) and EO 46 FY 19/20 to December 31, 2021; EO 48 FY 19/20 to six months after the federal PHE. New in Q3 2021: the Maine CDC emergency rule of August 12, 2021 (10-144 C.M.R. ch. 264) requiring COVID-19 immunization of health-care, EMS and dental employees (ME-061); the Judicial Branch's PPMO-SJC-1 as revised August 16, 2021 reinstating courthouse face coverings (ME-074); the DHHS-declared public health emergency effective July 1, 2021 recited in the rule; the federal conveyance mask order, TSA directives, OSHA Healthcare ETS and the other federal instruments in the FED files.

Preemption of local orders, State of Maine: Maine did not bar local orders. EO 28 FY 19/20 § V (March 31, 2020) set a floor, not a ceiling: 'This Order preempts any local ordinance or emergency order of the same subject matter that is less restrictive than or otherwise inconsistent with this Order.' Stricter local orders survived: Portland's City Manager issued a stay-at-home emergency order under Portland City Code ch. 2, §§ 2-406 and 2-408 effective 5 p.m. March 25, 2020, a week before the State's order, the City Council extended it on April 27, 2020 to May 18, and the City folded it into the Governor's orders on May 4, 2020 (ME-089 to ME-091). EO 2 FY 20/21 § II (July 8, 2020) affirmatively authorized municipalities 'to enforce the use of face coverings on streets and sidewalks, in parks and other public spaces... and to enforce the gathering limits' (ME-029). No statute or order barred municipal or school-board mask or gathering rules in 2021; after June 30, 2021 the State's position was that its recommendations were 'recommendations, not requirements' (Governor's release, July 28, 2021), leaving local school boards and municipalities free to act.

Federal agencies need to ask about the vaccination status of Federal employees and onsite contractors -- employees and onsite contractors must sign an attestation confirming their vaccination status, or they will be treated as not fully vaccinated for purposes of safety protocols.... Visitors must provide information on their vaccination status and comply with the requisite safety protocols....

I have determined that the emergency conditions in [Illinois] resulting from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic beginning on January 20, 2020, and continuing, are of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the 'Stafford Act'). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in [Illinois].... You are authorized to provide assistance for emergency protective measures (Category B), including direct Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program [statewide]. (Standard text of the COVID-19 major disaster letters as published by FEMA; the State name and any Individual Assistance or Hazard Mitigation authorizations vary; quote from the exhibit.)

End of general restrictions, State of Maine: EO 38 FY 20/21 (May 13, 2021) lifting indoor gathering and in-store customer limits, and EO 39 FY 20/21 (May 19, 2021) repealing the general face-covering mandate, both effective May 24, 2021 (ME-057, ME-058); the State of Civil Emergency and every remaining COVID-19 Executive Order without its own termination date expired at midnight June 30, 2021 under the June 11, 2021 renewal proclamation and EO 40 FY 20/21 (ME-059, ME-060) (2021-05-24 (capacity and general masking); 2021-06-30 (emergency, school and child-care masking, EO 57 travel order, all other general orders)). What remained: After May 24, 2021: face coverings in schools and child-care settings (EO 14 FY 20/21 § I(A)(3), preserved by EO 39 § I(A)(2)) and physical distancing where people eat or drink, both to June 30, 2021; the State of Civil Emergency and EO 57 travel order (as amended) to June 30, 2021. After June 30, 2021 (EO 40 FY 20/21 § II): the Insurance Emergency to July 31, 2021; EO 16 FY 19/20 § I(F), EO 20 FY 19/20 (family child care), EO 27 FY 19/20 and EO 35 FY 19/20 § I(A) (health-care licensing and telehealth) to August 30, 2021; EO 52 FY 19/20 (education) to August 31, 2021; EO 23 FY 20/21 to September 30, 2021; EO 3 FY 20/21 (MaineCare) and EO 46 FY 19/20 to December 31, 2021; EO 48 FY 19/20 to six months after the federal PHE. New in Q3 2021: the Maine CDC emergency rule of August 12, 2021 (10-144 C.M.R. ch. 264) requiring COVID-19 immunization of health-care, EMS and dental employees (ME-061); the Judicial Branch's PPMO-SJC-1 as revised August 16, 2021 reinstating courthouse face coverings (ME-074); the DHHS-declared public health emergency effective July 1, 2021 recited in the rule; the federal conveyance mask order, TSA directives, OSHA Healthcare ETS and the other federal instruments in the FED files.

Preemption of local orders, State of Maine: Maine did not bar local orders. EO 28 FY 19/20 § V (March 31, 2020) set a floor, not a ceiling: 'This Order preempts any local ordinance or emergency order of the same subject matter that is less restrictive than or otherwise inconsistent with this Order.' Stricter local orders survived: Portland's City Manager issued a stay-at-home emergency order under Portland City Code ch. 2, §§ 2-406 and 2-408 effective 5 p.m. March 25, 2020, a week before the State's order, the City Council extended it on April 27, 2020 to May 18, and the City folded it into the Governor's orders on May 4, 2020 (ME-089 to ME-091). EO 2 FY 20/21 § II (July 8, 2020) affirmatively authorized municipalities 'to enforce the use of face coverings on streets and sidewalks, in parks and other public spaces... and to enforce the gathering limits' (ME-029). No statute or order barred municipal or school-board mask or gathering rules in 2021; after June 30, 2021 the State's position was that its recommendations were 'recommendations, not requirements' (Governor's release, July 28, 2021), leaving local school boards and municipalities free to act.

5. Standing duties in Maine

Maine bound every employer on three standing tracks before the first executive order issued on March 18, 2020, and every one of them remained in force through September 30, 2021. First, the communicable-disease statute, 22 M.R.S. ch. 250, gives the Department of Health and Human Services (acting through the Maine CDC) power in 'an actual or threatened epidemic or public health threat' to declare a health emergency and adopt emergency rules for 'the isolation and placement of infected persons' and 'the disinfection, seizure or destruction of contaminated property' (sec. 802(2)); authorizes 'agents of the department, local health officers, sheriffs, state and local law enforcement officers' to enforce those rules (sec. 804(1)); subjects 'any person who neglects, violates or refuses to obey the rules' to a cease-and-desist order, a fine of $250 to $1,000 for each violation with 'each day that the violation remains uncorrected' a separate offense, and a District Court injunction (sec. 804(2)); permits a court to take 'the person or property which is the subject of the petition' into emergency custody 'to avoid a clear and immediate public health threat' (sec. 810); and, on the Governor's declaration under sec. 802(2-A), activates the extreme-public-health-emergency powers of sec. 820. Governor Mills' Proclamation of March 15, 2020 (Ex. ME-001) declared the emergency under both 37-B M.R.S. ch. 13 and 22 M.R.S. secs. 801(4-A) and 802(2-A) and expressly 'authorizes the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to exercise emergency powers pursuant to 22 M.R.S. sec. 820.' Second, the Maine Emergency Management Agency Act, 37-B M.R.S. ch. 13, empowered 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' and to 'take whatever action is necessary to abate, clean up or mitigate whatever danger may exist' (sec. 742(1)(C)(8), (12)); made every law enforcement officer an enforcer of 'any of the provisions of this chapter or any rules promulgated thereunder' with the power of arrest, and made '[f]ailure to comply with any just or reasonable order relative to enforcement from a duly appointed law enforcement officer' a Class E crime (sec. 786); imposed on every emergency management agency 'the duty... to execute and enforce orders and rules adopted by the Governor' (sec. 829); and suspended every inconsistent law for the duration (sec. 834). Every Governor's order recited sec. 786 and the Class E penalty of up to six months and $1,000, and every order from EO 28 onward added that a violation 'may be construed to be a violation of any such license, permit and other authorization' and that '[f]ailure to comply may result in further on-site restrictions or closure' (Ex. ME-011 sec. IV(F), VI; Ex. ME-029 sec. II; Ex. ME-046 sec. III). Three federal courts described that enforcement scheme as the law of Maine and refused to enjoin it (Exs. DUT-ME-011 to DUT-ME-014). Third, the workplace-safety duty ran on two statutes: for private employers, the federal general duty clause, 29 U.S.C. sec. 654(a)(1) (Ex. DUT-CT-009), because Maine's State Plan, approved August 5, 2015, is 'applicable only to public sector employment' and 'OSHA retains full authority for coverage of private sector employees in the State' (80 Fed. Reg. 46487; Ex. DUT-ME-006); for public employers, 26 M.R.S. sec. 561-A ('An employer shall furnish to each employee employment and a place of employment that are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to the employee'), enforced by the Bureau of Labor Standards under 26 M.R.S. secs. 45, 46 and 49; and for every workplace the Bureau's statutory mandate to 'cause to be enforced... all laws established for the protection of health, lives and limbs of operators in workshops and factories, on railroads and in other places' (26 M.R.S. sec. 42) and the Whistleblowers' Protection Act's protection of any employee who reports 'a condition or practice that would put at risk the health or safety of that employee or any other individual' (26 M.R.S. sec. 833(1)(B)). The sanitary code supplied a fourth, sector-specific track: every eating establishment, lodging place and campground held a DHHS license subject to inspection without warrant (22 M.R.S. sec. 2497), daily fines and correction directives (sec. 2498), and emergency suspension by the District Court where conditions 'may endanger the life, health or safety of persons' (sec. 2500); and the Maine Food Code, 10-144 C.M.R. ch. 200, made every permit holder's retention of its permit conditional on compliance 'with directives of the Regulatory Authority... in response to community emergencies' (sec. 8-304.11(H)), on immediate discontinuance of operations when 'an Imminent Health Hazard may exist' (sec. 8-404.11), and on the exclusion of ill employees (sec. 2-201.11). Local health officers could 'order the suppression and removal of nuisances and conditions suspected of posing or found to pose a public health threat' (22 M.R.S. sec. 454-A(2)(F)), owners had 24 hours to remove a source of filth 'potentially injurious to health' (22 M.R.S. sec. 1561), and a place used for 'a trade, employment or manufacture' that 'becomes injurious and dangerous to the health... of the public' is a nuisance subject to abatement and fine (17 M.R.S. secs. 2802, 2706). Maine enacted no general COVID-19 business liability shield in 2020 or 2021; its only immunities of the kind are conditioned on compliance (22 M.R.S. sec. 816(1): acts 'in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and Title 37-B, chapter 13, subchapter 2'; 37-B M.R.S. sec. 822: persons 'complying with or attempting to comply with this chapter or any rule adopted pursuant to this chapter'), so that in Maine the standard of care was never relaxed for the business that complied and was never available to the business that did not. Finally, the emergency orders themselves made continued operation conditional: EO 55 ordered that '[a]ny business authorized now to be open shall comply with the pertinent COVID-19 Prevention Checklist or other State of Maine Guidance' and that every business 'shall to the extent practicable continue to have their employees work remotely' (Ex. ME-025 sec. I(C)-(D)); EO 16 FY 20/21 made DECD's activity-specific requirements 'enforceable in the same manner as an Executive Order' (Ex. ME-042 sec. III); EO 19-A FY 20/21 ordered that '[o]wners and operators of indoor public settings must require all persons to wear face coverings' (Ex. ME-046 sec. I(A)); and the checklists used 'must' for occupancy, screening, exclusion of sick staff and face coverings and 'should' for spacing and cleaning details (Exs. ME-082 to ME-084). On March 25, 2021 the Legislature confirmed the regime while narrowing it in one respect only, by providing that in a declared emergency 'health care services and surgeries are not considered to be nonessential services' (P.L. 2021, c. 28, Pt. C; Ex. DUT-ME-016), and in the summer of 2021 it strengthened the communicable-disease statute by adding 'closure of a business or entity when that business or entity directly and repeatedly violates public health control measures during an extreme public health emergency' and a license-suspension sanction (P.L. 2021, c. 349, secs. 2-9, codified at 22 M.R.S. secs. 802(1)(D)-(E), 802(2)(D), 804(3); Ex. DUT-ME-001). Each of these instruments is a governmental command or a governmental condition on operating, not an election by the employer.

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 ('not due to a governmental order'), or were the discharge of standing duties imposed by Maine law and of conditions the orders themselves attached to continued operation.

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).

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is reminding employers that it is illegal to retaliate against workers because they report unsafe and unhealthful working conditions during the coronavirus pandemic. 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 Maine 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 267 instruments in force for this selection: 48 instruments from the State of Maine (Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 28 FY 19/20 (Corrected 2) (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. ME-011); City Manager Jon Jennings (with Mayor Kate Snyder), Emergency Stay at Home Order (City Manager's emergency proclamation), announced Mar. 24, 2020 (Ex. ME-089); Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 49 FY 19/20 (Apr. 29, 2020) (Ex. ME-021); and 45 more), 1 instrument from the agencies, boards and authorities of Maine (Judith M. Shaw, Securities Administrator, Order No. 2020-11, Order Addressing Disruptions (Mar. 25, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-INSURANCE-BANKING-065)), 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 39 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 37 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: CB (Ex. ME-089); OF (Ex. ME-011); SF (Ex. ME-089); CT (Ex. ME-065); CT courts (Ex. ME-063); WF workforce (Ex. ME-011); predicate (Ex. ME-018); CB payers (Ex. ME-002); CL (Ex. ME-065); FC (Ex. ME-008).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 28 FY 19/20 (Corrected 2) (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. ME-011) ordered: "I.A. All persons living in the State of Maine are hereby ordered, effective as of 12:01 AM on April 2, 2020 to stay at their homes or places of residence ('homes') except: 1. To conduct or participate in Essential Activities (defined below); 2. Workers at Essential Businesses and Operations that are…" Enforcement: § VI: 'Pursuant to 37-B M.R.S. § 786, this Order shall be enforced by law enforcement as necessary and violations are a class E crime subject to up to six… City Manager Jon Jennings (with Mayor Kate Snyder), Emergency Stay at Home Order (City Manager's emergency proclamation), announced Mar. 24, 2020 (Ex. ME-089) ordered: "the City Manager has signed an emergency stay at home order for all non-essential businesses and services in Portland. The order goes into effect at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, March 25 and has measures that apply to both residents and businesses.... Portland's City Code (Chapter 2, section 2-406)…" Enforcement: Portland City Code ch. 2; incorporates the Governor's March 15, 2020 Executive Order (proclamation) by reference Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 49 FY 19/20 (Apr. 29, 2020) (Ex. ME-021) ordered: "III. To continue to protect public health, the effective dates of Executive Orders 14, 19, 28 and 34 FY 19/20 are hereby extended through May 31, 2020 unless sooner amended.... IV. Starting May 1, 2020... the Commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) shall implement…" Enforcement: Enforcement provisions of EOs 14, 19, 28 and 34 (Class E crime; license action); conditional approvals revocable 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. Executive Order 28 FY 19/20 (Corrected 2) (Ex. ME-011) was in force from Apr. 2, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 90 of the quarter's 110 days; Emergency Stay at Home Order (City Manager's emergency proclamation), announced Mar. 24… (Ex. ME-089) was in force from Mar. 25, 2020 to Apr. 27, 2020, 34 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order 49 FY 19/20 (Ex. ME-021) was in force from Apr. 29, 2020 to May 31, 2020, 33 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 49 instruments in the quarter's record, 2 were in force on its first day, 36 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 255 instruments in force for this selection: 48 instruments from the State of Maine (Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 28 FY 19/20 (Corrected 2) (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. ME-011); Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 49 FY 19/20 (Apr. 29, 2020) (Ex. ME-021); Governor Janet T. Mills; Department of Economic and Community Development, Together We Are Maine: Restarting Maine's Economy (plan booklet) (Apr. 28, 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); 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. FED-157); and 160 more) and 44 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 42 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.

ME-011); CB payers (Ex. ME-002); CL (Ex. ME-065); CT courts (Ex. ME-019); IN in-person instruction (Ex. ME-031); IN insurance (Ex. ME-077).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Janet T. Mills, Executive Order 28 FY 19/20 (Corrected 2) (Mar. 31, 2020) (Ex. ME-011) ordered: "I.A. All persons living in the State of Maine are hereby ordered, effective as of 12:01 AM on April 2, 2020 to stay at their homes or places of residence ('homes') except: 1.

Mills, Executive Order 49 FY 19/20 (Apr. 29, 2020) (Ex. ME-021) ordered: "III. To continue to protect public health, the effective dates of Executive Orders 14, 19, 28 and 34 FY 19/20 are hereby extended through May 31, 2020 unless sooner amended.... IV.

Mills; Department of Economic and Community Development, Together We Are Maine: Restarting Maine's Economy (plan booklet) (Apr. 28, 2020) (Ex. ME-020) ordered: "STAGE 1, MAY: Stage 1 contemplates a continued prohibition on gatherings of more than 10 people... STAGE 2, JUNE: Stage 2 contemplates a continued prohibition on gatherings of more than 50 people... STAGE 3, JULY-AUGUST: Stage 3 maintains the prohibition on gatherings of more than 50 people and the…" Enforcement: EO 49 § IV: reopening only by 'conditional approval... subject to suspension or revocation depending upon actual and consistent compliance with such conditions' 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. Executive Order 28 FY 19/20 (Corrected 2) (Ex. ME-011) was in force from Apr. 2, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Together We Are Maine: Restarting Maine's Economy (plan booklet) (Ex.

Of the 48 instruments in the quarter's record, 32 were in force on its first day, 39 on its last day and 30 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.

Step one, the orders. In the fourth quarter of 2020 the Library holds 261 instruments in force for this selection: 54 instruments from the State of Maine (Governor Janet T.

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.
