Governor Kemp announced he issued an executive order extending the State of Emergency due to ongoing high prices and uncertain economic conditions caused by failed policies coming out of Washington, D.C.

Macon, GA – According to the state officials, this extension continues the suspension of the state’s excise tax on motor and locomotive fuel.

State officials also said that the State of Emergency and the gas tax suspension will remain in effect until 11:59 p.m. on November 29, 2023, helping Georgians cope with high food and travel costs through the Thanksgiving holiday.

Governor Brian Kemp released the following statement:

“Thanks to our responsible approach to budgeting, we’re able to deliver relief to families fighting through the disastrous effects of Bidenomics.

I’m proud this action has helped keep millions of dollars in hardworking Georgians’ pockets and look forward to continuing to see that impact with the Thanksgiving holiday approaching.

I’m also grateful for the partnership of the General Assembly as it prepares to enter a special session where legislators will be called on to ratify this measure.”
