On Monday, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama granted the states’ motion for a final judgment and permanent injunction, instructing the Treasury secretary not to seek enforcement of the tax mandate against the plaintiff states.

Alabama, joined the lawsuit with West Virginia and Arkansas, was joined by Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
