AI Summary
This resolution ratifies three executive orders issued by Governor Brian P. Kemp related to suspending motor fuel and diesel fuel taxes during a state of emergency caused by Tropical Storm Helene. Specifically, the resolution affirms the Governor's actions under Code Section 45-12-22, which allows for the suspension of fuel tax collection during emergency situations. The executive orders suspended fuel tax collection from October 1, 2024, through October 16, 2024, and required ratification by two-thirds of the Georgia General Assembly. The resolution officially endorses these executive orders and directs the House and Senate clerks to distribute copies of the resolution to the Governor, the public, and the press, thereby providing formal legislative approval for the temporary fuel tax suspension in response to the tropical storm emergency.
