斯坦因州长下令减免柴油罚则：助农户应对创纪录油价，豁免持续到年底
罗利——北卡罗来纳州州长乔希·斯坦因近日采取行动，指示州税务厅对在公路上使用红色染色柴油（red-dyed diesel）的罚则给予减免，豁免期持续到2026年年底，以帮助农民应对创纪录的柴油价格。
据北卡罗来纳州农业局介绍，今年9月，该州柴油零售价一度涨到每加仑6.25美元，创下历史最高。染色柴油通常只能用于农用机械等非公路用途，在公路上使用会面临重罚；此次减免意味着农民在紧急情况下使用公路行驶时，不会因使用染色柴油被罚款。
北卡农业局主席肖恩·哈丁（Shawn Harding）对此表示赞赏，称这是“农业的胜利”。州长办公室还表示，已同步争取联邦层面的罚则减免，为农民提供双重保障。
这次减免与州议会正在推进的汽油税减免法案是两回事：后者是立法层面的税收调整，前者是州长直接动用行政权的罚则豁免。

Stein Directs Diesel Penalty Relief for Farmers Amid Record Fuel Prices, Through Year's End
RALEIGH — North Carolina Governor Josh Stein took action last week directing the state Department of Revenue to provide penalty relief for highway use of red-dyed diesel, effective through the end of 2026, to help farmers cope with record diesel prices.
The North Carolina Farm Bureau said diesel hit $6.25 per gallon in the state this September — a record high. Dyed diesel is normally restricted to off-road farm use, and highway use carries heavy penalties; the relief means farmers will not be fined for using dyed diesel when driving on highways in emergencies.
Farm Bureau president Shawn Harding applauded the move, calling it "a victory for agriculture." The Governor's office said it has also secured federal penalty relief, giving farmers protection at both levels.
This relief is separate from the gasoline tax cut bill moving through the legislature — the latter is a legislative tax measure, while this one is a direct executive penalty waiver by the Governor.
