南达科他州农场主联盟吁修法明确红柴油合法，要求特别会期
据南达科他公共广播（SDPB）报道，州农场主联盟主席道格·松布克10月8日致信州长拉里·罗登及州议员，要求修改该州关于红色染色柴油的法律。此前州长已指示跟进特朗普政府的相关行政令。
10月7日，罗登指示州各部门执行特朗普总统10月6日的行政令，允许民用红色染色柴油。红柴油免缴24.4美分的联邦燃油税和南达科他州28美分的州税。根据现行州法（SDCL 10-47B-185），在公路上使用红柴油属一级轻罪，可处250美元罚款。
松布克在信中主张，州议会必须立法明确该做法合法，警告称“仅仅告诉执法部门不去执行一条不存在的法律是违法的”。他提议将汽油和透明柴油的州税暂时降至每加仑1美分，对红柴油加征1美分，并要求召开特别会期。
农场主联盟表示，此举可显著降低农民和乡村驾驶者的燃油成本；州官员正在权衡如何在现行法律框架内落实联邦指令。
South Dakota Farmers Union Presses for Red-Diesel Law Changes After Governor's Directive
South Dakota Farmers Union President Doug Sombke on October 8 wrote to Gov. Larry Rhoden and state lawmakers urging changes to state law on dyed diesel fuel, following the governor's move to align with a Trump administration order, SDPB reported.
On October 7, Rhoden directed state agencies to follow President Trump's October 6 executive order allowing civilian use of red-dyed diesel, which is exempt from the 24.4-cent federal fuel tax and South Dakota's 28-cent state tax. Under current state law (SDCL 10-47B-185), using red diesel on highways is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a $250 fine.
Sombke's letter argues the state needs legislation to clarify that the practice is legal, warning that "simply telling law enforcement not to enforce a law that is not on the books is illegal." He proposed temporarily cutting the state tax on gasoline and clear diesel to one cent per gallon, adding a one-cent tax on red diesel, and called for a special legislative session.
The Farmers Union says the move could significantly lower fuel costs for farmers and rural drivers, while state officials weigh how to implement the federal directive within existing statutes.
