1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Oct. 1, 2026. Selection: State Oklahoma 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=OK&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

[As CMS restated it in QSO-20-39-NH:] In March of 2020, CMS issued memorandum QSO 20-14-NH providing guidance to facilities on restricting visitation of all visitors and non-essential healthcare personnel, except for certain compassionate care situations, such as an end-of-life situation.

CMS, in collaboration with medical societies and associations, recently created recommendations to postpone non-essential surgeries and other procedures. This document provides recommendations to limit those medical services that could be deferred, such as non-emergent, elective treatment, and preventive medical services for patients of all ages. A tiered framework is recommended to prioritize services and care to those who require emergent or urgent attention to save a life, manage severe disease, or avoid further harms from an underlying condition.... CMS urges healthcare facilities and clinicians to consider the following tiered approach to curtailing non-emergent, elective medical services and treatment.

To expand capacity to care for these patients and to conserve adequate staff and supplies, especially personal protective equipment (PPE), on March 18 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommended limiting non-essential care and expanding surge capacity into ambulatory surgical centers and other areas.... Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

On April 16th, I issued the Second Amended Executive Order 2020-13 allowing elective surgeries to be reinstated on April 24, 2020. It is important to establish priorities for types of procedures to limit the spread of COVID-19 and make sure that limited personal protective equipment (PPE) is only consumed for the procedures that have higher impacts on morbidity and mortality. Therefore, while the following guidance is subject to individual institutions' availability of personal protective equipment, it shall be utilized when elective surgeries are performed: Elective Surgery Acuity Scale (ESAS)... Tier 2a/2b Allowable April 24... Tier 1a/1b Allowable May 1... require a COVID-19 test as a portion of the pre-operation process.

I have determined that the emergency conditions in [Iowa] 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 [Iowa].... 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.)

(2021-03-12 (statewide business and gathering restrictions); 2021-05-04 (State emergency); 2021-06-01 (last municipal mask ordinance, Norman)). What remained: After March 12, 2021: the State emergency and its administrative mandates (hospital critical-data reporting; universal test-result reporting to OSDH; EMAC licensure; State-agency remote-work policy directive) until May 4, 2021; municipal mask, separation and capacity ordinances in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater to their sunsets (April 30, May 25 and June 1, 2021). After May 4, 2021: EO 2021-16 (May 28, 2021; State buildings may not require masks or vaccination for access), SB 658 (July 1, 2021; school mask and vaccine mandates barred, mask provisions enjoined September 1, 2021), the Cherokee Nation vaccination mandate (May 25 to December 31, 2021), Stillwater's advisory Resolution CC-2021-24 (August 2, 2021) and September 2-20, 2021 emergency proclamation, the OSDH quarantine and isolation guidance for exposed persons (guidance, not verified as an order), and the federal layer (CDC conveyance mask order; TSA directives; OSHA Healthcare ETS; CMS conditions).

Preemption of local orders, State of Oklahoma: Oklahoma did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders during 2020-2021. The Fourth Amended EO 2020-13 (April 24, 2020) and its successors provided that 'all businesses should, unless the local municipality has more stringent guidelines, adhere to the statewide Open Up and Recover Safely (OURS) Plan' (Ex. OK-022, OK-023, OK-025), expressly preserving stricter municipal rules; the Eighth and Ninth Amended EO 2020-20 allowed 'the local health authority' to grant exceptions to the 50 percent gathering cap (Ex. OK-034, OK-035); Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater enacted stay-at-home, closure, mask, capacity and event ordinances that the State never displaced, and Stillwater's Ordinance 3463 recited that 'the Governor of the State of Oklahoma has left it to the cities to decide what steps are necessary to protect their citizens from the spread of COVID-19' (Ex. OK-085). Two 2021 instruments limited public bodies: EO 2021-16 (May 28, 2021) directed State agencies to rescind mask requirements for public services by June 1, 2021 and prohibited vaccination as a condition of admittance to public buildings (Ex. OK-042); SB 658 (effective July 1, 2021) barred school districts from requiring COVID-19 vaccination or vaccine passports and from implementing a mask mandate except during a gubernatorial state of emergency and after consultation with the local health department (Ex. OK-043); its mask provisions were temporarily enjoined by the District Court of Oklahoma County (Mai, J.) on September 1, 2021 (verified_secondary).

End of general restrictions, State of Oklahoma: First Amended Executive Order 2021-07 (Gov. Stitt), filed March 12, 2021 (Ex. OK-039), removed every business, mask, gathering and youth-sports restriction of EO 2021-07 while continuing the emergency declaration; the emergency itself ended when Executive Order 2021-11 (May 3, 2021; Ex. OK-041) withdrew and rescinded the Second Amended EO 2021-07 'Effective May 4, 2021'. Tulsa Ordinances 24516/24517 sunset April 30, 2021 and EO 2021-04 terminated the civil emergency in May 2021; Stillwater rescinded its emergency May 14, 2021 (Ordinance 3472 sunset May 25, 2021); Norman Ordinance O-2021-36 sunset June 1, 2021. (2021-03-12 (statewide business and gathering restrictions); 2021-05-04 (State emergency); 2021-06-01 (last municipal mask ordinance, Norman)). What remained: After March 12, 2021: the State emergency and its administrative mandates (hospital critical-data reporting; universal test-result reporting to OSDH; EMAC licensure; State-agency remote-work policy directive) until May 4, 2021; municipal mask, separation and capacity ordinances in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater to their sunsets (April 30, May 25 and June 1, 2021). After May 4, 2021: EO 2021-16 (May 28, 2021; State buildings may not require masks or vaccination for access), SB 658 (July 1, 2021; school mask and vaccine mandates barred, mask provisions enjoined September 1, 2021), the Cherokee Nation vaccination mandate (May 25 to December 31, 2021), Stillwater's advisory Resolution CC-2021-24 (August 2, 2021) and September 2-20, 2021 emergency proclamation, the OSDH quarantine and isolation guidance for exposed persons (guidance, not verified as an order), and the federal layer (CDC conveyance mask order; TSA directives; OSHA Healthcare ETS; CMS conditions).

Preemption of local orders, State of Oklahoma: Oklahoma did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders during 2020-2021. The Fourth Amended EO 2020-13 (April 24, 2020) and its successors provided that 'all businesses should, unless the local municipality has more stringent guidelines, adhere to the statewide Open Up and Recover Safely (OURS) Plan' (Ex. OK-022, OK-023, OK-025), expressly preserving stricter municipal rules; the Eighth and Ninth Amended EO 2020-20 allowed 'the local health authority' to grant exceptions to the 50 percent gathering cap (Ex. OK-034, OK-035); Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater enacted stay-at-home, closure, mask, capacity and event ordinances that the State never displaced, and Stillwater's Ordinance 3463 recited that 'the Governor of the State of Oklahoma has left it to the cities to decide what steps are necessary to protect their citizens from the spread of COVID-19' (Ex. OK-085). Two 2021 instruments limited public bodies: EO 2021-16 (May 28, 2021) directed State agencies to rescind mask requirements for public services by June 1, 2021 and prohibited vaccination as a condition of admittance to public buildings (Ex. OK-042); SB 658 (effective July 1, 2021) barred school districts from requiring COVID-19 vaccination or vaccine passports and from implementing a mask mandate except during a gubernatorial state of emergency and after consultation with the local health department (Ex. OK-043); its mask provisions were temporarily enjoined by the District Court of Oklahoma County (Mai, J.) on September 1, 2021 (verified_secondary).

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.)

Enforcement: Predicate and funding instrument; Public Assistance Category B at 75 percent, raised to 100 percent federal share for work from January 20, 2020 (FED-007 to FED-009, FED-151)

End of general restrictions, State of Oklahoma: First Amended Executive Order 2021-07 (Gov. Stitt), filed March 12, 2021 (Ex. OK-039), removed every business, mask, gathering and youth-sports restriction of EO 2021-07 while continuing the emergency declaration; the emergency itself ended when Executive Order 2021-11 (May 3, 2021; Ex. OK-041) withdrew and rescinded the Second Amended EO 2021-07 'Effective May 4, 2021'. Tulsa Ordinances 24516/24517 sunset April 30, 2021 and EO 2021-04 terminated the civil emergency in May 2021; Stillwater rescinded its emergency May 14, 2021 (Ordinance 3472 sunset May 25, 2021); Norman Ordinance O-2021-36 sunset June 1, 2021. (2021-03-12 (statewide business and gathering restrictions); 2021-05-04 (State emergency); 2021-06-01 (last municipal mask ordinance, Norman)). What remained: After March 12, 2021: the State emergency and its administrative mandates (hospital critical-data reporting; universal test-result reporting to OSDH; EMAC licensure; State-agency remote-work policy directive) until May 4, 2021; municipal mask, separation and capacity ordinances in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater to their sunsets (April 30, May 25 and June 1, 2021). After May 4, 2021: EO 2021-16 (May 28, 2021; State buildings may not require masks or vaccination for access), SB 658 (July 1, 2021; school mask and vaccine mandates barred, mask provisions enjoined September 1, 2021), the Cherokee Nation vaccination mandate (May 25 to December 31, 2021), Stillwater's advisory Resolution CC-2021-24 (August 2, 2021) and September 2-20, 2021 emergency proclamation, the OSDH quarantine and isolation guidance for exposed persons (guidance, not verified as an order), and the federal layer (CDC conveyance mask order; TSA directives; OSHA Healthcare ETS; CMS conditions).

Preemption of local orders, State of Oklahoma: Oklahoma did not preempt or bar local COVID-19 orders during 2020-2021. The Fourth Amended EO 2020-13 (April 24, 2020) and its successors provided that 'all businesses should, unless the local municipality has more stringent guidelines, adhere to the statewide Open Up and Recover Safely (OURS) Plan' (Ex. OK-022, OK-023, OK-025), expressly preserving stricter municipal rules; the Eighth and Ninth Amended EO 2020-20 allowed 'the local health authority' to grant exceptions to the 50 percent gathering cap (Ex. OK-034, OK-035); Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater enacted stay-at-home, closure, mask, capacity and event ordinances that the State never displaced, and Stillwater's Ordinance 3463 recited that 'the Governor of the State of Oklahoma has left it to the cities to decide what steps are necessary to protect their citizens from the spread of COVID-19' (Ex. OK-085). Two 2021 instruments limited public bodies: EO 2021-16 (May 28, 2021) directed State agencies to rescind mask requirements for public services by June 1, 2021 and prohibited vaccination as a condition of admittance to public buildings (Ex. OK-042); SB 658 (effective July 1, 2021) barred school districts from requiring COVID-19 vaccination or vaccine passports and from implementing a mask mandate except during a gubernatorial state of emergency and after consultation with the local health department (Ex. OK-043); its mask provisions were temporarily enjoined by the District Court of Oklahoma County (Mai, J.) on September 1, 2021 (verified_secondary).

5. Standing duties in Oklahoma

Oklahoma's compulsion ran on four standing statutory tracks. First, the Public Health Code: the State Board of Health holds rulemaking power over 'quarantine measures', 'regulation of public meetings and gatherings in epidemic situations' and 'fumigation, cleaning and sterilization, and disinfection' (63 O.S. 1-502(a)); the State Commissioner of Health must 'recommend, prescribe and enforce such measures of health, sanitation and safety' for 'all buildings and places of public resort' and 'take such measures as deemed necessary... to control or suppress, or to prevent the occurrence or spread of, any communicable, contagious or infectious disease' (63 O.S. 1-106(C)(1)); local health officers may quarantine exposed persons and isolate infected persons, and 'It shall be unlawful for such person, or any other person, to violate the terms or conditions of the quarantine' (63 O.S. 1-504(A)-(B)), with district-court injunctions to compel compliance (1-504(C)); willful violation of 'any quarantine law or regulation' is a misdemeanor (21 O.S. 1195), as is willfully exposing a person 'affected with any contagious disease in any public place' (21 O.S. 1199); the local health officer may order 'the owner or occupant of any private premises' to remove 'any... cause of sickness... or any other condition adversely affecting the public health' within twenty-four hours on pain of a misdemeanor (63 O.S. 1-1011(a)); no food establishment may operate without a license, and the Commissioner's sanitation rules must cover 'cleanliness and hygiene of personnel' (63 O.S. 1-1118(A), (C)), with OAC 310:257 requiring the person in charge to exclude or restrict symptomatic food employees and the license holder to 'immediately discontinue operations' on an imminent health hazard 'as determined by the Commissioner of Health' (310:257-3-4(e), 310:257-15-32(a)). Second, the emergency statutes: the Oklahoma Emergency Management Act of 2003 gave the Governor, during a proclaimed emergency, 'regulatory control over all essential resources of this state', defined as 'all economic resources within this state', and power 'to promote and secure the safety and protection of the civilian population' (63 O.S. 683.9(1), (5), text in force 2009-2025), with a misdemeanor of six months and $3,000 per day for willful violation of any OEM rule, regulation or order (63 O.S. 683.23(C)); the Catastrophic Health Emergency Powers Act, invoked by EO 2020-12 (Ex. OK-012), let the Governor suspend regulatory statutes and 'Utilize all available resources of the state government and its political subdivisions' and vested the Commissioner of Health with 'primary jurisdiction, responsibility, and authority' over the response (63 O.S. 6403(B)-(C)); municipalities hold standing power to 'enact and enforce such ordinances, rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the protection of the public health' and to 'make regulations to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases' (11 O.S. 22-120(A)), the power Tulsa recited for its face-covering and six-foot ordinances (Ex. OK-064, OK-066). The Supreme Court of Oklahoma held on December 14, 2021 that the Governor issued the 2020 orders 'within the full authority statutorily granted by the Legislature pursuant to 63 O.S. 2011 6403, and 683.1 and 683.9', that the orders 'were Legislatively mandated in a health crisis' and 'designed to control infections, and provide a safe and sanitary environment for Oklahomans', and that a private hospital that discharged a nurse for refusing to work elective surgeries the orders had postponed faced a wrongful-discharge tort (Ho v. Tulsa Spine & Specialty Hospital, 2021 OK 68). In 2025 the Legislature narrowed the closure power prospectively (SB 672), which confirms where it lay in 2020. Third, the workplace-safety duty: Oklahoma's own general-duty statute binds 'the state and all its political subdivisions' (40 O.S. 402(1), 403(A)); every private employer in Oklahoma is under federal OSHA's general duty clause, 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1), the Commissioner of Labor being barred from asserting enforcement jurisdiction where a federal standard exists (40 O.S. 414(A)); OSHA's COVID-19 guidance and its General Duty Clause citations of 2020 are in the library (AGY-FED-LABOR-IMMIGRATION-029, -030, -031, -095). Fourth, the liability shield: from May 21, 2020 a business was protected from COVID-19 exposure suits only 'if the act or omission alleged to violate a duty of care of the person or agent was in compliance or consistent with federal or state regulations, a Presidential or Gubernatorial Executive Order, or guidance applicable at the time of the alleged exposure', 'guidance' meaning written COVID-19 guidelines of the CDC, OSHA, OSDH, Commerce 'or any other state agency, board or commission' (76 O.S. 111, SB 1946); the companion SB 1947 codified the Commerce NAICS list and the executive orders as the legal definition of an essential business (76 O.S. 112(B)(4)), and SB 300 conditioned health-care immunity on acts taken 'in response to or as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency' (63 O.S. 6406(C)). The orders themselves made operation conditional: the Commerce list allowed starred industries to remain open only if they 'must publicly post and adhere to social distancing guidelines in order to remain open' (Ex. OK-014); the OURS Plan let personal-care businesses reopen 'for appointments only, must adhere to sanitation protocols', gyms 'if they adhere to CDC-recommended social distancing and sanitation protocols', and dining, entertainment and venues 'using CDC-recommended social distancing and sanitation protocols', while its employer paragraphs 'recommended' distancing protocols (Ex. OK-021); the Governor's orders said businesses 'should' adhere to the OURS Plan (Ex. OK-023) but commanded that restaurants and bars 'shall ensure a minimum of six (6) feet of separation' and that gatherings 'shall be limited to fifty percent (50%)' of permitted occupancy (Ex. OK-033, OK-034, OK-037); Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Norman wrote face-covering, separation, signage and capacity duties on places of public accommodation with fines and citation authority (Ex. OK-064, OK-066, OK-067, OK-069, OK-080, OK-052, OK-053, OK-074, OK-076). Verbs are recorded exactly: 'shall', 'must', 'are required', 'unlawful' where the text commands; 'should', 'can... if', 'are recommended' where it does not.

The phase question

Whether the measures employers took beyond the four corners of the emergency orders were voluntary within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were the discharge of standing duties imposed by Oklahoma law and of the conditions on which the orders let a business operate.

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).

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others....

Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: GATH (Ex. OK-009); CB (Ex. OK-009); VS (Ex. OK-009); EVT (Ex. OK-058); OF State telework (Ex. OK-015); SX/CH (Ex. OK-009); TV (Ex. OK-013); CB residents ordered home (Ex. OK-074); GATH/EVT (Ex. OK-052); SF/DR/FC (Ex. OK-013).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor J. Kevin Stitt, Fourth Amended Executive Order 2020-07 (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. OK-006) ordered: "Adults over the age of sixty-five (65) and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions, collectively referred to as 'vulnerable individuals,' shall stay in their home or place of residence except for working in a critical infrastructure sector, as more particularly described…" Enforcement: None recited in the order; Emergency Management Act predicate. Municipalities enforced parallel orders under their own codes (Tulsa TRO Title 8 sec. 300; OKC… Mayor Breea Clark, Proclamation 2020-04 (Mar. 24, 2020) (Ex. OK-074) ordered: "That, previous proclamations dated March 13, 2020, March 16, 2020 and March 23, 2020 shall be deemed repealed and replaced by this Proclamation 2020-04 dated March 24, 2020 and made effective on March 25, 2020 at 11 p.m.; and That, effective at 11:59 p.m. on March 25, 2020, the following…" Enforcement: Norman Code sec. 2-111 Governor J.

Oklahomans and medical providers in Oklahoma shall postpone all elective surgeries, minor medical procedures, and non-emergency dental procedures... Social gatherings…" Enforcement: None recited 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. Fourth Amended Executive Order 2020-07 (Ex. OK-006) was in force from Mar. 24, 2020 to Apr. 16, 2020, 24 of the quarter's 110 days; Proclamation 2020-04 (Ex. OK-074) was in force from Mar. 25, 2020 to Apr. 8, 2020, 15 of the quarter's 110 days; Fifth Amended Executive Order 2020-07 (Ex. OK-009) was in force from Mar. 27, 2020 to Mar. 29, 2020, 3 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 56 instruments in the quarter's record, 0 were in force on its first day, 13 on its last day and 0 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)

OK-021) was in force from Apr. 24, 2020 to Feb. 12, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Third Emergency Joint Order Regarding the COVID-19 State of Disaster (SCAD 2020-36) (Ex.

Of the 15 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 7 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 third quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19.

FED-290); U.S. House of Representatives (H.Res. 965, 116th Cong., agreed to May 15, 2020), H.Res. 965, Authorizing remote voting by proxy in the House of Representatives and providing for official remote committee proceedings during a public health emergency due to a novel coronavirus (May 15, 2020) (Ex. FED-398); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HHS, CDC Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (Oct. 30, 2020) (Ex. FED-031); and 164 more) and 45 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 43 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. OK-088); VAX (Ex. OK-090); EMER Q3 2021 municipal emergency (Ex. OK-089); EVT large events (Ex. OK-089); HC/ED hospital capacity (Ex. OK-089); IN/EC schools' 2021-22 operating rules (Ex. OK-043); OF/CRT State offices (Ex. OK-042); SCH (Ex. OK-043); SF/DR/OF businesses' mask policies backed by police trespass response (Ex. OK-088); TR/EV conference travel and public events suspended for the unvaccinated (Ex. OK-090).

Step three, the change compelled. Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr, Executive Order 2021-01-CTH (vaccination mandate for executive-branch employees, effective May 25 to Dec. 31, 2021) (May 11, 2021) (Ex. OK-090) ordered: "Cherokee Nation's proactive COVID safety policies, including but not limited to the mask mandate memorialized in the Principal Chief's Executive Order on May 28, 2020, has mitigated the impact of this deadly disease.... 4. REQUIREMENT OF COVID VACCINE:... a) All New Employees shall achieve full…" Enforcement: Termination of employment or participation; suspension of non-essential job functions (paras. 4 a-c) Governor J. Kevin Stitt, Executive Order 2021-16 (May 28, 2021) (Ex. OK-042) ordered: "On or before June 1, 2021, all buildings and office space, owned or leased by the State of Oklahoma and open to the public shall rescind any mandate for the wearing of masks in order to receive government services. By the terms of this Executive Order, all state agencies are hereby prohibited from…" Enforcement: Directive to State agencies Oklahoma Legislature (58th Leg., 1st Sess.); approved by Governor Stitt May 28, 2021, Senate Bill 658 (2021) (May 28, 2021) (Ex. OK-043) ordered: "[Section 1210.189 A:]... 1. Require a vaccination against Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a condition of admittance to or attendance of the school or technology center school; 2. Require a vaccine passport as a condition of admittance to or attendance of the school or technology center…" Enforcement: Statutory prohibition on school boards; enforcement through the State Department of Education 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, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. Executive Order 2021-01-CTH (vaccination mandate for executive-branch employees, effective… (Ex. OK-090) was in force from May 25, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Executive Order 2021-16 (Ex. OK-042) was in force from June 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Senate Bill 658 (2021) (Ex. OK-043) was in force from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 1, 2021, 63 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 5 instruments in the quarter's record, 3 were in force on its first day, 3 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 third quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

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.
