Yes. In September 2026, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry declared a statewide diesel emergency after prices reached a record $6.03 per gallon. An executive order effective September 23 temporarily suspends state penalties for using dyed (tax-exempt off-road) diesel in Class 2 forest-product and Class 5 farm vehicles on public roads through October 22, so farmers and timber harvesters can use fuel already on hand during harvest season. The declaration also triggers Louisiana’s price-gouging protections.
