Protecting Our Constitution and Communities Act

This bill would let everyday people take the federal government to court if it violates the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. It also gives states and local government agencies their own right to sue. The bill includes a section that defines key terms used in these new rights.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Individuals, states, and local government agencies
• What changes: Creates a right to sue over violations of the federal budget and spending law, and adds definitions to guide how this works
