JUNE 25, 2024:
Governor Kristi Noem signed an executive order Monday (June 24, 2024) granting an hours-of-service waiver for certain products being transported through South Dakota.
The 14-day order declares a state of emergency and exempts delivery of needed supplies in support of flood relief efforts from federal motor carrier regulations regarding drivers’ hours of service.
Although hours of service have been temporarily suspended for commercial deliveries, companies may not require or allow fatigued drivers to make deliveries. All other road safety and vehicle compliance regulations still apply.
The executive order expires at midnight on July 8, 2024.
JUNE 22, 2024:
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem signed (June 22, 2024) Executive Order 2024-04 declaring an emergency for the recent storms and associated flooding. State agencies have already been responding and will continue assisting local governments throughout the emergency.
Noem says people should check the SD511.org website or mobile app for updates on road conditions. She says please reach out to your county emergency manager if you have immediate needs, as each of them will be helping to coordinate the compiling information about the amount of public and private damage in their respective areas.
The EO also issued a “no boating declaration” on the waters of Lake Alvin in Lincoln County, Lake Henry in Bon Homme County, Marindahl Lake in Yankton County, Menno Lake in Hutchinson County, and Swan Lake in Turner County, South Dakota.
