§ 23-23.7-7. Suspension.
The governor of the state of Rhode Island, or the director, may temporarily suspend the requirements imposed by § 23-23.7-4 if it is determined that the physical availability of biodiesel fuel and/or renewable hydrocarbon diesel heating oil that complies with these requirements is inadequate or unavailable at commercially reasonable prices to meet the needs of the residential, commercial, or industrial uses in this state and the inadequate availability constitutes an emergency, provided that the governor or director shall specify in writing the period of time the suspension shall be in effect; provided that this period shall not exceed three (3) months.
