Kemp seeks second round of state tax rebates

Sources tell FOX 5 political reporter Claire Simms that Gov. Brian Kemp is looking at another round of tax rebates--similar to the ones that have gone out this summer.

ATLANTA - Georgians could get another tax rebate thanks to a state budget surplus.

Sources tell FOX 5 Gov. Brian Kemp is looking at a second round of tax rebates similar to those that went out over the summer.

KEMP EXTENDS GEORGIA'S SUSPENSION ON GAS TAXES THROUGH MID-SEPTEMBER

State lawmakers approved legislation in March to distribute rebates of $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of household with dependents and $500 for joint filers.

Last month Democrat Stacey Abrams, who is running against Kemp, proposed identical tax rebates, though hers would be limited to Georgians making $250,000 or less. 

"Georgians need money in their pockets and a roof over their heads – and we need to invest to help them meet this moment," said Stacey Abrams.
