-
Licensing, certification, and permitting rules and regulations required by the Kansas Corporation Commission are temporarily suspended.
-
Registration and fuel tax permits enforced by the Kansas Department of Revenue are temporarily suspended for motor carriers and persons operating commercial vehicles.
