Abstract
Last September, 17 Republican state attorneys general sued the Biden administration over its decision to update Section 504 to potentially include protections for gender dysphoria. Parts of the lawsuit went as far as requesting that the entirety of Section 504 be found unconstitutional, prompting widespread concern among disability rights groups and advocates. The lawsuit also challenges other aspects of Section 504 under the Spending Clause of Article I of the U.S. Constitution.
