Bill overview
The Protecting Our Constitution and Communities Act amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish a private right of action for individuals and state/local governments who believe the President has unlawfully withheld budget authority. This means that citizens and local entities could sue the federal government if they are harmed by the President’s refusal to spend appropriated funds. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘contingencies’ related to budget adjustments and strengthens the Comptroller General’s role in overseeing compliance with the Act.
