What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Internal Revenue Service to stop imposing penalties for the on-road use of dyed diesel through the end of the year. However, dyed diesel remains prohibited for use in vehicles operating on public roads in California. The California Farm Bureau has requested that Governor Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers suspend the 48-cent diesel excise tax to allow the fuel's use on roadways.
