I, Mary Fallin, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution and 63 O.S. §§ 683.1 et seq., hereby declare that because there is a state of emergency existing in the State of Oklahoma due to extremely dry weather and lack of significant rainfall, it is necessary to assist and expedite all efforts of drought relief and wildfire suppression. In order to accommodate this need and to provide assistance to the citizens of Oklahoma in this extraordinary situation, I hereby order the temporary suspension of the following as they apply to vehicles used in the support efforts:
Due to the severe drought conditions occurring statewide it is necessary to expedite access to hay for livestock. In order to accommodate this need and to provide assistance to our farmers and ranchers in this extraordinary situation, I hereby order the temporary suspension of the requirements for special permits for use of oversized vehicles under Title 47 as they apply to vehicles used to transport round baled hay for livestock as outlined above.
This order shall terminate at the end of thirty (30) days.
This Executive Order shall be forwarded to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the Oklahoma Tax Commission, the Commissioner of Public Safety, and the Director of Emergency Management, who shall cause the provisions of this order to be implemented by all appropriate agencies of state government.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 12th day of March 2012.
