Governor Laura Kelly has renewed a list of executive orders designed to help residents through the coronavirus pandemic.
The governor also signed Executive Order 21-01, which lets employers keep withholding income taxes based on the state of the employees’ primary work locations and not based on the state where the worker is temporarily teleworking from.
In addition, the governor extended several executive orders set to expire this week:
*20-37 – Allowing certain deferred tax deadlines and payments during state of disaster emergency
*20-39 – Extending professional and occupational licenses during state of disaster emergency
*20-40 – Temporarily allowing notaries and witnesses to act via audio-video communication technology during state of disaster emergency
*20-43 – Temporary relief from certain restrictions concerning shared work programs during state of disaster emergency
*20-56 – Amended Licensure, Certification, and Registration for persons and Licensure of “Adult Care Homes” during state of disaster emergency
*20-61 – Temporarily prohibiting certain foreclosures and evictions
*20-66 – Amended provisions related to drivers’ license and vehicle registration and regulation during state of disaster emergency
*20-70 – Provisions related to drivers’ license and identification cards during the state of disaster emergency
One executive order, 20-50, had suspended the requirement to keep searching for work in order to get unemployment benefits. That order has expired and will not be extended.
