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 under COVID-19-related laws and is used to support public health efforts such as mitigating the spread of infectious diseases, ensuring access to immunizations, and bolstering emergency preparedness.

Potential Impact:

Termination of the public health funding will limit local governments in providing essential public health services to their residents.
