WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 9, 2024)—In the past week, gas prices have seen a minor decrease, with the national average falling by three cents to $3.64 since last Thursday. This slight dip in prices is attributed to lukewarm domestic demand ahead of Memorial Day and oil costs remaining below $80 a barrel.

The Georgia Senate has confirmed the passage of SB 426, a bill aimed at limiting direct action lawsuits. The announcement comes as the Georgia House is yet to schedule a vote on the same legislation. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has championed the bill as a significant step in tort reform that will offer much-needed relief to businesses within the state.
