OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A provision of the latest federal stimulus package could threaten a series of state tax cut bills moving through the Legislature, Attorney General Mike Hunter said Tuesday.
Hunter, a Republican, said a provision in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 passed by Congress by party-line votes prohibits states from cutting taxes until 2024 if they get funds from the $1.9 trillion package.
“The federal stimulus bill might prohibit Oklahoma from providing this economic relief without losing its share of federal funding to high-tax states,” Hunter said in a statement. “From a broader perspective, the problem my colleagues and I have with this language is that it is unconstitutional.”

As eastern Oklahoma’s transformation to Indian reservations took a leap forward last week, some state and tribal leaders renewed their call for Congress to allow them to forge agreements for prosecuting criminal cases.
Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter said recent discussions with members of Oklahoma’s congressional delegation “give me optimism and confidence that they’re going to move as quickly as this situation requires” to introduce legislation.
“The Cherokee and Chickasaw (leaders) are asking and supporting authority from Congress to compact with the state to share criminal jurisdiction,” Hunter said in an interview. “I’m hopeful that happens in the next few months and we look forward to working with the federal government and the tribes.”
