Federal funds are withheld (at least the threat is made) from states for non compliance with federal law, highway funds come to mind. Loss of title IX funding for noncompliance, I think this had something to do with transgender.
That was not my point, just examples where funding was an issue with noncompliance. Got any idea which specific funding is being discussed?
