Full text

(a) The board may establish emergency pilotage rates for the period of an emergency, not to exceed 30 days, if the board finds that: (1) a natural or man-made disaster has created a substantial hazard to piloting vessels into and out of a port; and (2) the existence of the hazard overrides the necessity to comply with normal pilotage rate-setting procedures. (b) In adopting emergency pilotage rates, the board is not required to comply with the procedures in this chapter and in its rules relating to the adoption of pilotage rates. (c) Emergency pilotage rates may not be appealed. (d) The board shall adopt rules to carry out this section.
