Correct, that is my read as well—it specifically says that the tax credits do not apply to government employers.  There are payroll taxes though that do not need to be paid.  An attorney I know passed this on, so far it is a reasonably accurate summary but does not have specific info for local governments:

A lot of municipalities have nonessential employees on paid administrative leave at the present time. Anyone have thoughts on whether such leave can be considered against the 80-hour requirement, should an employee later fall into one of the identified categories. The ninth bulletpoint of the very helpful summary talks about other available paid leave, but I’m wondering if that refers to PTO and/or sick leave, or also includes admin leave. I haven’t had a chance to look at the act itself yet,…..

Subject: Re: [Disasterrelief] FFCRA, H.R. 6201 Summary

I’m reading the version passed by the Senate. My understanding is that government will not be reimbursed per Section 7001(e)(4) and Section 7003(e)(4).

Thoughts?

It has been signed by the President and I pulled the summary from the enacted text based on the best of my ability, but I have no pride in someone looking over and making sure it’s spot on.

Please confirm whether H.R. 6201 as helpfully summarized by Karen White (thank you Karen!) has been approved by the Senate and signed by the President, and is thus law, and that this summary accurately reflects the enacted version. Thank you.
