State Legislature Bills

Georgia would give six months of temporary cost-of-living relief by suspending the state gas tax, removing certain state utility regulatory fees, and exempting essentials like diapers, infant formula, OTC medicines, feminine hygiene products, and basic cleaning supplies from state sales tax. The changes would take effect within 30 days and automatically expire after six months unless lawmakers renew them.

This bill would give Georgians two years of cost-of-living relief by suspending sales tax on groceries, cutting vehicle registration fees by 25%, and capping certain permitting fees for homebuilding and small business energy-efficiency upgrades. It also speeds up state reviews for qualifying housing, grid modernization, and in-state energy projects that already meet existing safety and environmental standards.
