Kemp issues executive order
following Colonial Pipeline shutdown
DAVE WILLIAMS
Capitol Beat News Service
Normal restrictions on com
mercial trucks in Georgia
are being waived under an
executive order Gov. Brian
Kemp has issued in response
to the shutdown of the Colonial
Pipeline.
The Alpharetta-based com
pany that supplies nearly half
of the gasoline consumed on
the East Coast reported a ran-
somware attack last Friday that
forced a shutdown of a 5,500-
mile pipeline running from
Texas to New Jersey. The FBI
blamed the attack on DarkSide,
a group of hackers believed to
operate out of Russia or East
ern Europe.
To help relieve gasoline
shortages brought on by the
shutdown, Kemp issued an
executive order Monday sus
pending federal regulations
governing the number of hours
commercial truck drivers can
operate and waiving normal
weight,height and length limits
on trucks subject to state “over
size” permits.
The order also suspends
the collection of gasoline and
diesel fuel taxes during the
emergency and prohibits price
gouging.
Georgia governors have is
sued similar executive orders
during other disruptions in
fuel supplies, usually follow
ing hurricanes or other natural
disasters that affect refineries
or pipelines.
The shutdown of the Co
lonial pipeline is expected to
send pump prices higher and
force refiners to cut production
because they can’t transport
the fuel.
Kemp urged motorists not
to panic.
“There is no need to rush to
the gas station to fill up every
tank you have and hoard gas,”
he said. “With the measures we
have taken today, I am hope
ful we can get more supply
to stations and get through to
this weekend when we hope
Colonial will return to normal.”
Colonial officials say they
are working on “substantially
restoring operational service”
by the end of this week.
Kemp’s executive order is
due to expire at 11:59 p.m.
Saturday.
