Compare Georgia’s price levels, category costs, and changes in its regional price deflator.
BLS does not publish a statewide Georgia CPI or a complete 50-state CPI cohort. The statewide comparisons here use BEA regional price parities and its implicit regional price deflator. They are explicitly labeled and are not CPI.

BEA regional price parity, relative to the overall national price level. The U.S. all-items index equals 100 each year. Measures prices across places within the same year, rather than annual inflation. For all items, 103 means about 3% above the national level. Category benchmarks can differ from 100; compare Georgia with the published U.S. category value shown. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.
The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

The General Assembly adopted HR 3EX in the June 2026 special session, ratifying Executive Order 05.15.26.02 and its temporary suspension of motor-fuel taxes.
The Georgia Senate passed and adopted HR 3EX on June 23, 2026, following House adoption on June 20.
Why this record is included
HR 3EX ratified Governor Kemp's May 15 executive order suspending collection of motor-fuel and diesel-fuel taxes. Both chambers adopted the resolution after the temporary suspension ended. This directly concerns Georgia's gasoline-tax component but does not explain the later six-state EIA value.

May 15, 2026 · Tax suspension implemented
Gov. Brian Kemp · Issued
FactVote reviewed summary
Governor Kemp issued Executive Order 05.15.26.02 to continue Georgia's motor-fuel excise-tax suspension for two weeks after the statutory 60-day pause ended.
The motor-fuel excise-tax suspension applied from May 20 through June 2, 2026.
Why this record is included
Executive Order 05.15.26.02 continued suspension of Georgia's motor-fuel excise tax from May 20 through June 2, 2026 after HB 1199's suspension ended. Gasoline was expressly eligible. The order had expired before the August 2026 regional fact and cannot establish a lasting price effect.
Retained Georgia evidence context: Lower Atlantic regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
The Department of Revenue states that the order continued suspension of the motor-fuel excise tax from May 20 through June 2, 2026 and expressly included gasoline.
Attorney General Carr announced that Georgia would investigate and potentially prosecute businesses that intentionally failed to pass HB 1199's gas-tax savings through to consumers.
Attorney General Chris Carr issued the enforcement warning on March 28, 2026.
Why this record is included
Attorney General Carr warned that businesses intentionally failing to pass the HB 1199 gas-tax savings to customers could face investigation and prosecution under Georgia consumer-protection law. This was an enforcement posture directed at Georgia pump-price pass-through during the suspension, not a finding about the August regional price.
Retained Georgia evidence context: Lower Atlantic regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
The Attorney General said intentional failure to pass the associated savings to customers could be investigated and prosecuted as an unfair or deceptive act.

HB 1199 suspended collection of covered motor-fuel excise taxes for 60 days from its effective date and capped aggregate annual tax credits for qualified low-income buildings at $100 million for taxable years 2026–2028. It also revised Georgia’s federal tax-code conformity provisions. The tax suspension and housing-credit cap are provisions of the final passed text.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Georgia officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.

Her agenda includes investing in flood mitigation, brownfield redevelopment, and stronger protections for vulnerable communities, while making sure water infrastructure is reliable and able to keep up with growth. She has also been clear that Georgia needs to slow down and reassess the rapid expansion of data centers so families are not left with higher utility bills, strained water resources, and damage to surrounding communities. Her goal is to grow Georgia’s economy in a way that is sustainable, accountable, and centered on people.

Sky-high energy prices are crushing families and small businesses. We need to end the left’s war on American energy and restore U.S. energy independence.

This section matches specific inflation, consumer prices and the cost of living terms in retained, attributed source text from published Georgia candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

HB 1199 — Fuel-tax suspension, housing-credit cap and tax-code conformity
Mar 20, 2026 · Enacted
Rep. John Carson · Sponsored
Reviewed final-text context
HB 1199 suspended collection of covered motor-fuel excise taxes for 60 days from its effective date and capped aggregate annual tax credits for qualified low-income buildings at $100 million for taxable years 2026–2028. It also revised Georgia’s federal tax-code conformity provisions. The tax suspension and housing-credit cap are provisions of the final passed text. They do not establish lower retail fuel prices, the amount of credits awarded or additional housing construction.
Governor approval recorded March 20, 2026. The official legislative history records governor approval and effectiveness on March 20, 2026. Section 4 applies section 1 to taxable years beginning January 1, 2025; the other provisions have separate duration and applicability rules.

Why this record is included

Only current Georgia officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Georgia statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
Georgia snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Georgia, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
