ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed an executive order aimed at reducing the backlog on propane deliveries, by temporarily easing hours-of-service regulations for drivers transporting fuel in the state.
Recent winter storms have slowed propane deliveries just as sub-zero temperatures have increased demand.
Officials said there’s a backlog of more than 200,000 homes that use propane as their primary heating source.
