沃尔兹签署第26-12号行政令延长燃料紧急宽减：柴油价近每加仑6美元，运输工时与秋收载重限制继续放宽
明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹（Tim Walz）签署第26-12号行政令，延长对该州农民、伐木工人、卡车司机、燃料运输业者与家庭的紧急宽减，背景是柴油价格仍接近每加仑6美元。州长办公室在10月31日发布的周报中公布了这项签署。
第26-12号行政令延续了沃尔兹10月1日采取的行动，目的是帮助本州生产者与运输业者节省燃料、降低成本、保证秋收顺利进行。行政令延长了对运送燃料产品（包括柴油、燃料油、汽油、乙醇与生物柴油）的机动车承运人与驾驶员的临时驾驶工时宽减，在维持关键安全保障的同时，保证必需燃料供应畅通。
行政令还允许农民与伐木工人提高每车装载量，高效运送收成产品；这项载重宽减只适用于把受涵盖的秋收产品从收获地点运到第一个卸载点的路段，且车辆只能在州级与地方公路上行驶，不得使用州际公路或由州、县维护的林区道路。
"当明尼苏达的农民和伐木工人以每加仑近6美元的价格把收成运进来时，特朗普总统却只顾着自己钱包的大小，"沃尔兹说，"他至今没有站出来，那就由明尼苏达来。这项行政令把切实的宽减送到那些养活我们的社区、撑起我们经济的劳动者手中，帮助家庭与企业节省燃料、省下开支。"

Walz Signs Executive Order 26-12 Extending Fuel Emergency Relief: Diesel Near $6 a Gallon, Hours-of-Service and Harvest Weight Relief Continued
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed Executive Order 26-12, extending emergency relief for Minnesota's farmers, loggers, truckers, fuel haulers, and families as diesel prices remain near $6 per gallon. The Governor's Office announced the signing in its weekly briefing released on October 31.
Executive Order 26-12 builds on the action Walz took on October 1 to help Minnesota producers and haulers conserve fuel, lower costs, and keep the harvest moving. The order extends temporary hours-of-service relief for motor carriers and drivers transporting fuel products, including diesel, fuel oil, gasoline, ethanol, and biodiesel, as part of emergency relief efforts. The relief helps keep essential fuel supplies moving while maintaining key safety protections.
The order also ensures farmers and loggers can efficiently transport their products by loading more product per truckload. The weight-limit relief applies only to the movement of covered harvest products from the location of harvest to the first unloading point. Vehicles may operate under the relief only on state and local highways and may not use interstate highways or forest roads maintained by the state or a county.
"While Minnesota farmers and loggers pay nearly $6 a gallon to bring in the harvest, President Trump is focused on the size of his own wallet," said Governor Walz. "He is still not stepping up, so Minnesota is. This order extends practical relief to the workers who keep our communities fed and our economy strong, helping families and businesses conserve fuel and save money."
