EXECUTIVE ORDER

BY THE GOVERNOR:

WHEREAS:

WHEREAS:

WHEREAS:

WHEREAS:

ORDERED:

ORDERED:

The uninterrupted supply of liquid petroleum gas to residential, agricultural and
commercial establishments is an essential need of the public during the winter
and any interruption threatens the public welfare; and

The continued period of cold weather has increased the demand for the above
referenced fuels and threatened uninterrupted delivery to residential, agricultural
and commercial customers; and

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations, 49 CFR 390, et seq., limit the hours
of operators of commercial motor vehicles may drive; and

49 CFR 390.23 allows the Governor of a State to suspend these rules and
regulations for up to 30 days if the Governor determines that an emergency
condition exists.

NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT To THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME As GOVERNOR
OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS HEREBY

That a State of Emergency is hereby declared for the limited purpose of
suspending the federal rules and regulations that limit the hours operators of
commercial vehicles may drive, in order to ensure the uninterrupted supply of
liquid petroleum gas throughout Georgia. This emergency justifies a suspension
of Part 395 (drivers’ hours of service) of Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. The suspension shall remain in effect for 7 days or until the
emergency condition ceases to exist, whichever is less. Nothing herein shall be
construed as an exemption from the Commercial Driver’s License requirements
in 49 CFR 383, the financial requirements in 49 CFR 387, or applicable federal
size and weight limitations.

IT IS FURTHER

That no motor carrier operating under the terms of this emergency declaration
shall require or allow an ill or fatigued driver to operate a motor vehicle. A driver
who notifies a motor carrier that he or she needs immediate rest shall be given at
least 10 consecutive hours off-duty before the driver is required to return to
service.
