Operative words
1. Businesses closed under Executive Order 2020-06.3 and referenced in paragraphs 2-8 below, may not reopen before 8:00 a.m. on Friday, May 1, 2020.... 6. On or after 8:00 a.m. May 1, 2020, restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries, food trucks and cafes may reopen under the following conditions: the ND Smart Restart: Standards For All Industries and the ND Smart Restart industry-specific standards: Restaurants, Bars, Breweries, Distilleries and Food Trucks must be adopted and rigorously followed.... 9. Recreational and sports arenas, and music and entertainment venues will remain closed until further notice. 10. All state employees who have been teleworking since March 20, 2020, will continue to telework until further notice.
Enforcement
'Executive Orders have the force and effect of law under NDCC § 37-17.1-05 (2). Violations of this Order are an infraction and subject to a one-thousand dollar fine.' All law enforcement officers directed to enforce.
Notes
The State's reopening was a conditional licence, not a restoration: the industry standards (Exs. ND-034 to ND-037) were mandatory conditions of operating from May 1 to May 22, 2020.
Retrieval noteNot re-saved. The verb is 'must be adopted and rigorously followed'. EO 2020-06.7 (Ex. ND-045) changed it on May 22, 2020 to 'strongly encouraged to adopt and rigorously follow', while State-facility protocols and the wellness screening of every person entering a State facility remained mandatory from June 1, 2020.
