Litigation Content
Why it Matters:
Plaintiffs allege that defendants arbitrarily terminated $11 billion of public health funding in violation of Administrative Procedure Act, the separation of powers principle, and the Spending Clause. The funding was appropriated through COVID-19 related laws but has since supported public health efforts such as identifying and addressing infectious disease, ensuring access to immunizations, and fortifying emergency preparedness.
Potential Impact:
Termination of the public health funding will prevent local governments from providing essential public health services to their citizens.
