Governor Brian P. Kemp has signed two executive orders extending the temporary suspension of state taxes on motor and locomotive fuel as well as the supply chain state of emergency. Both orders will be effective through October 12, 2022, and can be found here.

"I commend Governor Kemp for once again extending the suspension of the gas tax, which is helping Georgians lessen the economic burden we're facing at the pump," said Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan.

Since the start of the temporary suspension, 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, according to AAA.
