CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) â Attorneys general from 13 states sued President Joe Biden s administration on Wednesday over a rule in the federal stimulus that bars states from using relief money to offset tax cuts.
The filing in U.S. District Court in Alabama asks judges to strike down the provision in the wide-ranging relief act signed by Biden that prohibits states from using $195 billion of federal aid âto either directly or indirectly offset a reductionâ in net tax revenue. The restriction could apply through 2024.
The coalition, which includes one Democratic attorney general, is concerned the provision can construe any tax cut as taking advantage of the pandemic relief funds.
