Georgia gas prices plummet as gas tax moratorium takes effect | Georgia
SUMMARY: Gas prices in Georgia dropped by 23 cents to an average of $2.74 per gallon following Governor Brian Kemp’s statewide gas price moratorium. This reduction is significant compared to prices in neighboring states, where drops were minimal. The gas tax is 32 cents per gallon, and relief may continue as OPEC+ plans to increase production in December, which could further lower prices. The suspension of the gas tax will remain in effect until the state of emergency concludes. In Georgia, the lowest prices are found in northwest cities, while the highest are in Savannah and Valdosta. Nationally, the average stands at $3.17.

SUMMARY: Georgia’s new Tax Expenditures Transparency Act of 2024 mandates lawmakers to analyze 12 state tax expenditures annually, focusing on those expiring in two years or exceeding $20 million. If there are fewer than 12 qualifying expenditures, lawmakers can choose others for assessment. Results will be published on the Department of Audits and Accounts website, allowing public feedback. The House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee will meet annually by January 31 to review the previous year’s analyses. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones emphasized the need for transparency in taxpayer spending and accountability in tax break allocations.
