(SmyrnaVinings.News) — Gov. Brian P. Kemp has amended the state of emergency order issued last week to include waiving penalties for the use of off-road "dyed" diesel.
The governor said the move provides further relief to Georgia's truckers and farmers.
This is in addition to the suspension of the state motor fuel tax and the removal of state weight limits on commercial vehicles included in the Sept. 28 executive order. For the duration of the State of Emergency, there will be no state penalties incurred for selling, delivering, or using dyed fuel oil for on-road vehicle use.
With this new action, Kemp also extended the original state of emergency and its suspension, which will now run through Nov. 5.
