DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
In re:
SUSPENSION OF STATUTES, RULESDEM NO. 17- 0004
AND ORDERS, MADE NECESSARY
BY HURRICANE IRMA
EMERGENCY ORDER
Pursuant to the authority granted by Executive Order No. 17-235, I find that timely execution of the mitigation, response, and recovery aspects of the State’s emergency management plan, as it relates to the Hurricane Irma, is negatively impacted by the application of certain regulatory statutes. Therefore, I promulgate the following:
The provisions of section 206.054, Florida Statutes, as they pertain to the payment of taxes by importers of fuels are hereby waived until 11:59 p.m. on September 13, 2017.
Because section 252.36(5)(a), Florida Statutes, allows the Governor to suspend the provisions of “any regulatory statute prescribing the procedures for [the] conduct of state business”, and because Executive Order No. 17-235 designates the Director of the Division of Emergency Management as the State Coordinating Officer for this emergency, the requirements of sections 252.46 and 120.54(4), Florida Statutes, do not apply to this Order.
Executed this 8th day of September, 2017, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.
