State Fiscal Flexibility: End of Tax Cut Prohibition

Key points
States and territories can now lower taxes, even if they received federal aid funds.
Federal funds still cannot be used to deposit into pension funds.
The changes are effective retroactively, as if included in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
