What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Governor Larry Rhoden directed the South Dakota Department of Public Safety to temporarily adjust enforcement priorities concerning the use of dyed diesel fuel. This action prioritizes commercial motor vehicle inspections that pose a public safety threat, rather than identifying the use of dyed diesel fuel. This direction aligns with a recent Executive Order by Donald Trump suspending federal penalties for using dyed diesel fuel on public roads.
