1:25-cv-00121
District Court
Rhode Island

Goal

  • Block enforcement of an agency action
  • Declaration that agency action is unlawful

Litigation Content

Why this Matters:

Plaintiffs allege that defendants arbitrarily terminated $11 billion of public health funding in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. 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.
