Protecting State and Local General Sales Tax Revenue from Federal Spending Rules.

This law clarifies how state and local governments can spend money collected from general sales taxes. It ensures that federal rules restricting the use of airport-related revenues do not apply to the general sales tax money you pay. This maintains local flexibility to use sales tax funds for essential services like schools, police, or roads, without federal interference.
Key points
Exempts general state and local sales taxes from federal restrictions on how certain revenues (related to transportation) must be spent.
