The Federal Funding Protection Act amends title 28 of the United States Code, expanding the jurisdiction of federal district courts. It establishes original and concurrent jurisdiction for these courts over specific civil actions filed against the United States. This new jurisdiction covers civil actions that aim to vacate the termination of a grant previously awarded by a federal agency. A crucial condition for such cases is that the grant termination must be a direct result of an agency action that is already undergoing judicial review under Chapter 7 of title 5 of the U.S. Code, which pertains to administrative procedures.
