Summary

Actions a department or agency takes under section 2000d–1 can be reviewed in court the same way other similar agency decisions are reviewed. If an agency stops or refuses financial help because it finds someone broke the rules under section 2000d–1, and there is otherwise no court review, any person harmed — including a State, local government, or their agency — may ask for review in court under chapter 7 of title 5. The agency cannot say its decision is beyond court review.

Any department or agency action taken pursuant to section 2000d–1 of this title shall be subject to such judicial review as may otherwise be provided by law for similar action taken by such department or agency on other grounds. In the case of action, not otherwise subject to judicial review, terminating or refusing to grant or to continue financial assistance upon a finding of failure to comply with any requirement imposed pursuant to section 2000d–1 of this title, any person aggrieved (including any State or political subdivision thereof and any agency of either) may obtain judicial review of such action in accordance with chapter 7 of title 5, and such action shall not be deemed committed to unreviewable agency discretion within the meaning of that chapter.
