I, Vernon Barnett, Commissioner of the Alabama
Department of Revenue, pursuant to the power granted to me under §40-2-11, Code
of Alabama 1975, hereby declare that because there is a state of emergency
resulting from Hurricane Dorian, it is necessary to assist and expedite all
efforts of relief. In order to
accommodate this need and provide assistance to the citizens affected by this
storm, I hereby order the temporary suspension of the requirements associated
with the International Registration Plan (IRP) and International Fuel Tax
Agreement (IFTA) for any motor vehicle engaged in interstate disaster relief
efforts which will be traveling through the State of Alabama as part of the
disaster relief.
Nothing in this Executive Order shall be construed to
allow any vehicle to operate in the State of Alabama without valid registration
and insurance from its base state, nor shall anything in this Executive Order
be construed to allow any vehicle to exceed weight limits posted for bridges
and like structures, nor shall anything in this Executive Order be construed to
relieve any vehicle or the carrier, owner, or driver of any vehicle from
compliance with any restrictions other than those specified in this Executive
Order, or from any statute, rule, order or other legal requirement not
specifically waived herein.
Because of the ongoing state of emergency resulting from Hurricane Dorian, this Executive Order shall be effective until the end of thirty (30) days after the signing of the Executive Order.
Entered this 30th day of August 2019
