This report seeks to provide guidance to policy makers regarding the following:
- A listing of Executive Orders that ACIR has identified as priorities to continue during the pandemic emergency. Where appropriate, this sections makes suggestions for modifications;
- A listing of Executive Orders ACIR suggests be codified by the General Assembly in 2021; and,

It is ACIR’s expectation that these recommendations will be helpful and that ACIR can be used as a continued resource in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.
