District court denies Ohio's motion for preliminary injunction
May 12, 2021
The district court denied the State of Ohio’s motion for a preliminary injunction regarding the provision of the recent Covid relief bill that effectively precludes States from offering net tax relief to their citizens, but found that the court has jurisdiction over the action, and that Ohio has a substantial likelihood of showing that the ambiguous provision violates the Spending Clause. The U.S. Chamber had filed a coalition amicus brief supporting the State of Ohio’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
