Official bill PDF served by the Georgia General Assembly with NO authentication at https://www.legis.ga.gov/api/legislation/document/{library}/{versionId}. Text-layer PDF read with PyMuPDF. Georgia bill PDFs carry a left-margin line-number gutter that interleaves digits into naive extraction; the quote is taken after removing standalone line-number lines. Amendatory struck/inserted pairs are reproduced exactly as the Act prints them (e.g. "2028 2031") and are NOT silently resolved. The suspension window, its legislative-findings escape hatch and the pre-July-1-2024 contract carve-out were previously recorded only as reported by secondary journalism; they are now primary. The quote is cut at the page break; the sentence continues "the Special Commission on Data Center Energy Planning established pursuant to Article 10 of Chapter 7 of Title 50, the commissioner shall suspend the issuance of any new certificates of exemption pursuant to this paragraph, except for any high-technology data center customer that is subject to an ongoing contract that was entered into prior to July 1, 2024, with a high-technology data center that has applied for a certificate of exemption pursuant to this paragraph prior to July 1, 2024." -- quoted in full in the instrument summary.

None of this took effect -- the bill was vetoed.
Office of the Governor of Georgia (Brian P. Kemp), '2024 Veto Messages' government two-reviewer
“House Bill 1192 would implement a two-year pause on the issuance of sales and use tax exemption certificates to high-technology data centers and data center customers. Only two years ago the legislature extended these tax exemptions for an additional three years, through 2031. The bill’s language would prevent the issuance of exemption certificates after an abrupt July 1, 2024 deadline for many customers of projects that are already in development—undermining the investments made by high-technology data center operators, customers, and other stakeholders in reliance on the recent extension, and inhibiting important infrastructure and job development. For the foregoing reasons, I VETO HOUSE BILL 1192.”
