Georgia Governor Extends Suspension of State Gas Tax

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed two executive orders today, extending the temporary suspension of the state's gasoline tax as well as the supply chain state of emergency.

"With our nation experiencing 40-year high inflation, ongoing supply chain challenges, and some of the highest gas prices ever, Democrats in D.C. continue to spend taxpayer money with no regard for the costs and its impact on hardworking families," said Kemp.

Kemp's news release says since the temporary suspension was implemented, Georgia's average gas price has remained one of the lowest in the nation and is currently roughly 46 cents below the national average for a gallon of regular gas.

Kemp's extension today of the gas tax and supply chain state of emergency will be effective through October 12.
