Georgia lawmakers have given final approval to two pieces of Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s tax cut agenda.

The measures would give income tax filers another $1 billion in tax refunds and to ratify Kemp’s decision to waive tax collections on gasoline and diesel fuel for months.

Kemp already signed his plan for a $950 million property tax rebate into law Friday as part of the amended budget for this year.
