Governor Declares Energy Emergency

May 27, 2016

On Tuesday, May 24, Governor Rick Snyder issued an Executive Order declaring a State of Energy Emergency due to the shutdown of a fuel pipeline in Wisconsin and an unplanned outage of the Marathon refinery in Detroit heading into the holiday weekend.  The order suspends state and federal regulations related to hours-of-service for motor carriers and drivers transporting all transportation fuels within Michigan.  However, it does not waive any environmental rules or alter commercial arrangements.  The Executive Order is effective immediately and remains in effect until it is rescinded or until 11:59 p.m. on June 6, 2016, whichever occurs first.
