The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (ASFR) have issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that revises certain provisions of the regulations that govern HHS grants administration. Specifically, HHS is soliciting input on provisions in the NPRM that would require grant recipients to comply with applicable federal statutory nondiscrimination provisions, require HHS compliance with applicable Supreme Court decisions in administering grants, and provide a religious exemption for requirements from certain provisions. HHS will hold consultation virtually on December 19, 2023 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET. Interested participants may register for the consultation session here. Written comments will be accepted following the consultation until January 18, 2024. More information on the consultation can be found in the Dear Tribal Leader Letter.
