H.R. 9370: Protect Local Funding Act

This bill would block the federal government from putting into effect, enforcing, or finalizing a specific proposed rule called “Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance,” which was published in the Federal Register on May 29, 2026.

In practical terms, the bill says the Office of Management and Budget and any other federal agency cannot move forward with that rule, and they also cannot adopt any rule that is substantially similar to it.

The bill does not itself create a new grant program or change how federal aid works on its own. Instead, it is aimed at stopping one proposed federal rule from becoming policy. Because the text only refers to that rule by name and date, the bill’s actual effects would depend on what the blocked rule would have required.
