North Carolina Suspends Gasoline and Diesel State Tax Until November
What happened
Governor Josh Stein signed the Relief at the Pump Act, which suspends North Carolina's state tax on gasoline and diesel fuel until November 30th. The legislation removes the state's 41-cent-per-gallon tax on these fuels.

Why it matters
The law was enacted to lower high fuel prices for consumers. Tax savings should be reflected at gas stations as they sell through fuel that was taxed before the suspension took effect.
