Under Executive Order 26-20 (Oct. 9, 2026), Gov. Mike Kehoe suspended enforcement of Missouri's on-highway dyed-diesel ban (RSMo 142.932) and its penalties for any purpose. No state agency or officer may assess penalties under that section. The order replaces EO 26-19 and keeps a 90,000-pound limit for qualifying farm loads on non-interstate roads.
