Georgia lawmakers have approved two state sales tax holidays for school supplies and energy efficient products.

The Senate gave final approval this week to a bill to set the school supplies and clothing holiday for July 30-Aug. 2.

The holiday for energy efficient products which cost $1,500 or less would be Oct. 1-4.

If Gov. Sonny Perdue signs off on the bill, consumers won’t pay state sales taxes on the items on those dates.
