Two District Courts Block Enforcement of the Trump Administration's October 2017 Contraceptives Rules | Practical Law
Two US district courts have granted preliminary injunctions blocking enforcement of interim final regulations addressing compliance with the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) contraceptives mandate. The regulations, which were effective immediately in October 2017, were issued by the Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Treasury. The regulations included an expanded exemption and accommodation from the ACA's contraceptives rules for certain entities and individuals with objections based on religious beliefs or moral convictions.
