Attorney General Weiser joined a coalition of attorneys general in suing to block new unlawful conditions on Title X funding imposed by HHS, which would penalize states and providers that refuse to abandon nondiscrimination initiatives or conform to the administration's ideological vision of family planning. The lawsuit argues the conditions conflict with federal law, violate the Administrative Procedure Act, and are unconstitutionally vague.
The coalition seeks to block HHS from enforcing the new conditions and preserve access to Title X funding under existing rules.
In-house legal teams should review any contracts with government funding, particularly those related to healthcare services, to ensure compliance with nondiscrimination and patient-centered care requirements. They should also monitor any changes in federal grant conditions and ensure that their contracts allow for adjustments to maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
