State of Emergency Triggers KCC Waiver

Governor Kelly proclaims emergency and KCC Grants Conditional and Temporary Relief from Hours of Service Motor Carrier Rules And Regulations

Governor Laura Kelly today issued a state of disaster emergency proclamation, noting that “areas within Kansas and surrounding states are experiencing a fuel shortage, causing long lines at fuel terminals thereby causing a disruption in supply delivery and a need for drivers to increase the number of hours of service to deliver product.”

In response, the Kansas Corporation Commission has issued a 14-day waiver of 49 CFR 395.3 and 395.5, as adopted by K.A.R. 82-4-3a, to carriers transporting fuel in Kansas. The order is effective from April 30, 2025 through May 13, 2025.

Several unfortunate circumstances have aligned to produce unparalleled challenges with fuel supply. Stress testing on the pipeline, the conversion to summer blends, downtime at refineries due to maintenance, and increased demand due to agricultural planting and warmer weather for drivers have all coincided to produce a tempest across our region. These conditions led to Fuel True requesting the waiver on behalf of our fuel distributor members in western Kansas.

All other applicable state and federal regulations shall apply to include but not limited to: the Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing; the Kansas Motor Vehicle Driver’s License Act, the federal minimum levels of Financial Responsibility (insurance requirements) and the regulations governing transportation of hazardous materials in Kansas.
