Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp recently signed an executive order that extends the gas tax holiday into August, a move that is expected to provide some relief to the state’s citizens.

Back in mid-March, Kemp signed House Bill 304, suspending the state tax on motor fuel. The suspension was supposed to remain in effect until May 31. But in May, the governor extended the moratorium through July 14. And with the new Executive Order 07.01.22.02, the suspension of gas taxes will remain in effect through Aug. 13.
