❗GEORGIA'S NEW STATE OF EMERGENCY RESETS THE CLOCK 🕰 ❗
Governor Kemp has issued a new statewide State of Emergency through October 15, 2026 in response to Hurricane Isaias.
Under the 2026 GAR Purchase and Sale Agreement, this new declaration may trigger another extension of unexpired contract deadlines, even if you've already amended your contract for a previous emergency.
👉Remember each new State of Emergency restarts the clock which requires a new Amendment.
Want to keep your original contract dates? We recommend a new amendment signed by all parties.
✨Suggested Amendment Language:
Notwithstanding the State of Emergency declared by Governor Kemp on October 8, 2026, Section C(4)(c) hereby is deleted, and all timelines and deadlines, including but not limited to the Closing Date, shall remain as established as of the Binding Agreement Date or as subsequently amended by written agreement by all the parties.
