Protect Local Funding Act

This legislative proposal, known as the "Protect Local Funding Act," aims to prevent the implementation of a specific federal regulation concerning financial assistance. It explicitly prohibits the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the heads of all other federal agencies from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing a proposed rule. The rule targeted by this bill is titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," which was published in the Federal Register on May 29, 2026. This measure ensures that the specified regulation, or any substantially similar rule, cannot take effect, thereby maintaining the existing framework for federal financial assistance.
