What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Federal Funding Protection Act," aims to amend title 28 of the United States Code. It proposes to grant district courts original and concurrent jurisdiction over specific civil actions. Specifically, it targets actions against the United States that seek to vacate the termination of a grant made by a Federal agency. This applies if the termination results from agency actions subject to review under chapter 7 of title 5.
