Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has taken a significant step in response to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene by announcing the suspension of the state's gas tax for approximately one week. This decision comes as part of the state's efforts to provide relief to communities affected by the hurricane.
The suspension of the gas tax will come into effect on Thursday, October 3, and will remain in place until the state of emergency declared for Helene ends on Wednesday, October 9. Governor Kemp's executive order, issued on Tuesday, outlines the details of this temporary tax relief measure.
