Colorado v. Department of Health and Human Services
Case Overview
A coalition of states sued the Trump administration over the cancellation of $11 billion in public health funding.
The Application
Colorado and allied states challenge the cancellation as either exceeding executive authority over congressionally-appropriated health funding or violating APA procedural requirements. The outcome turns on whether the administration identified sufficient statutory basis for the termination and followed required notice-and-comment or other procedural safeguards.
The Conclusion
The case is active before Judge Mary S. McElroy. The court will determine whether to uphold the termination, grant preliminary injunctive relief restoring funding, or permit the action to proceed depending on the strength of the states' legal claims.
