ATLANTA — The Georgia House passed a measure to temporarily suspend the state gas tax as gas prices continue to rise amid the war in Iran.
The measure will now head to the Georgia Senate for their vote. If the Senate passes it, it will still require Gov. Brian Kemp’s signature before it can go into effect.
How much a suspension would save drivers at the pump, LIVE on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4:00 p.m.
The proposed gas tax suspension would last 60 days. The suspension would only get extended if the governor’s office takes further action.
AAA shows the average price for a gallon of gas is $3.72 as of Wednesday afternoon. The national average is around $3.84.
