Michigan Order Allows Dyed Diesel for Vehicles With Farm or Wood Harvester Plates

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a statewide energy emergency and eased fuel rules for vehicles with farm or wood harvester plates, allowing them to use dyed diesel on public roads through Dec. 31. Executive Order 2026-15, dated Oct. 12, immediately suspended specific provisions of Michigan’s Motor Fuel Tax Act that prohibit covered vehicles from using dyed diesel on public roads. Whitmer said the order would let covered vehicles use dyed diesel on highways “without risk of penalty.” The measure is intended to support farmers and loggers during the fall harvest. The federal penalty relief took effect Oct. 1, before Michigan issued its order, but the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) did not announce the nationwide relief until Oct. 14. It covers penalties for highway use of dyed diesel through Dec.
