Governor Greg Abbott is taking steps to make it easier on truckers to bring fuel and supplies into the state.
The governor issued a temporary waiver of the International Fuel Tax Agreement, which will suspend requirements that trucking firms track and pay tax on the amount of fuel used in Texas when delivering needed relief supplies and fuel into the state.
Abbott says, "Texans should rest assured that their state government is doing everything possible to ensure the accessibility and affordability of the necessities allowing us to focus on the process of rebuilding together after this storm."
