Jefferson City- Today, Governor Mike Kehoe signed Executive Order 25-36 temporarily suspending the hours of service regulations for commercial motor vehicles transporting residential heating fuel in Missouri.

"Significant disruptions on the pipeline distribution system that supplies Missouri with critical heating fuel has resulted in transporters needing to travel farther to secure product for Missourians," said Governor Mike Kehoe. "During a time when Missourians rely on heating fuel the most, we want to ensure we're doing all we can to assist with these challenging supply issues to keep homes and businesses warm."

Executive Order 25-36 temporarily suspends regulations for motor carriers transporting residential heating fuel such as propane, natural gas, and heating oil. No other petroleum products or fuels are covered under the order.

The executive order maintains all other regulations and safety requirements associated with commercial transportation. The order will take effect immediately, and remain in effect until January 2, 2026, unless otherwise extended.
