Governor's suspension of off-road diesel gas tax has ended
In May 2008, Governor Sonny Perdue signed an executive order suspending the collection of the four cent state gas tax on diesel sold for off-road uses. The governor's signature on House Bill 46 on April 22 ratified the governor's May 12, 2008 executive order and at the same time officially ended the year-long sales tax exemption.

The governor's action to temporarily grant the sales tax exemption was prompted by the unprecedented rise in fuel costs that saw diesel fuel climb as high as $ 4.85 per gallon last year.
