Title X Funding Conditions

On August 27, 2026, a coalition of 23 attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Maryland to block a new federal policy that threatens to strip federal family planning funding from states and providers unless they meet a variety of unlawful conditions. We argue that the new HHS conditions conflict with Title X’s governing statute and regulations, were unlawfully imposed without the notice-and-comment process required under the Administrative Procedure Act, and are so vague that providers cannot reasonably determine what compliance requires, in violation of the Constitution's Spending Clause.
