Beshear Orders Temporary Emergency Exemption
KENTUCKY....
Heavy demand for propane and prolonged freezing temperatures have caused distribution delays statewide. Governor Steve Beshear says dangerously cold weather has presented an emergency in every sense of the word, while making it critical that people have access to heating fuel. Beshear has ordered a temporary emergency exemption from restricted operating hours for propane haulers. An order signed January 8th by acting Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock exempts commercial vehicles and operators hauling propane from restrictions on driving times through January 20th. Driving time between rest periods ordinarily is limited by state regulation.
