Thursday, acting Governor Mike Foley signed Executive Order 22-07 to extend emergency relief on account of regional fuel shortages. The order temporarily allows drivers to work extended hours to haul gasoline or gasoline blends, diesel, fuel oil, ethanol, propane, and biodiesel.
By facilitating increased fuel transportation, the order will help reduce delays at petroleum product terminals in order to make fuels more readily available to consumers.
The order, which extends Executive Order 22-06, is effective immediately and will remain in effect through Dec. 31.
