The legislation, dubbed HB 1199, will temporarily suspend Georgia's fuel taxes—33.3 cents per gallon on gasoline and 37.3 cents per gallon on diesel—for 60 days, which took effect immediately after Kemp's approval.

The governor signed a separate bill into law on the same day, authorizing a one-time special income tax rebate of up to $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of households, and $500 for couples, according to a statement.

Eligible taxpayers in Georgia could receive the tax rebate within six to eight weeks, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue.

"Hardworking Georgians know best how to spend their money, not the government," Kemp said in the statement announcing his approval of the two bills.

"That's why I'm proud to sign these bills and, along with the General Assembly, deliver meaningful tax relief on top of the other measures we've taken in recent years," the governor added.
