EMERGENCY PETROLEUM SET-ASIDE ACT
§
4131. Purpose and findings
The Legislature
hereby finds and declares: that adequate supplies of fuel are essential to the
health, welfare, and safety of the people of the State of Vermont; that any
severe disruption in fuel supplied for use within the State would cause grave
hardship and pose a threat to the health and economic well-being of the people
of the State; that such interruptions should be responded to by reliance to the
greatest extent practicable on the free market system; and that temporary and
concurrent State authority for a fuel set-aside program should be in place as
the federal government terminates, suspends or fails to implement all or part
of the federal program. (Added 1981, No. 162 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. April 15,
1982.)
