Good afternoon:

I am passing along a complaint that was filed by a coalition of states against the federal government based on HHS' abrupt termination of $11 billion in public health funding on 3/24.  The states argue the termination is unlawful under the APA.  We talked about this funding termination on our last call and it is also impacting local governments so I wanted to pass this along.

Thanks,

Amanda

Good morning:

The judge in the lawsuit brought by the coalition of states to block HHS' decision to cancel $11 billion in public health funding granted the states' TRO yesterday.  As far as I can tell, there isn't a written order yet (the docket just noted the decision).  But here's an article reflecting the decision: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5231020-federal-judge-temporary-pause-trump-administration-public-health-funding-cuts/.

Thanks,
Amanda
