What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Maryland Farm Bureau, representing farming and forestry groups, is asking the Moore-Miller administration to relax restrictions on dyed diesel products in Maryland due to record high diesel costs. Dyed diesel is cheaper and tax-free for off-road use in Maryland, but its use on state highways is currently illegal. MFB estimates that loosening these restrictions could save members between $10,000 and $12,000 over a season. Although President Donald Trump issued an executive order allowing dyed diesel on highways to lower costs, state laws in Maryland govern the fuel's use.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The debate centers on whether state laws can override federal attempts to lower operational costs for diesel-reliant industries. Potential changes in diesel regulations could significantly impact the costs of farming and forestry operations within Maryland.
