LGLC Impacts of Federal Immigration Policy on Local Governments - This is not an IMLA Webinar
2025-05-19 13:00 - 14:00
Impacts of Federal Immigration Policy on Local Governments (Part 2)

This is NOT an IMLA webinar and CLE will not be offered.
Hosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC), join us for a second informational (not for CLE) webinar regarding the executive orders issued this year and federal policies in the area of immigration and how they may impact local governments and local government officials. Presenters will provide a high-level overview of the laws at issue and their impact on local government operations and duties.
The LGLC is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties (NACo), National League of Cities (NLC) and International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) to provide education to local governments regarding the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases. Visit the Local Government Legal Center to learn more.

Grant Compliance Webinar – Free Live For IMLA Members
2025-05-20 13:00 - 14:00
From Confusion to Compliance: Grant Guidance in a Modern World
CLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply.
The world of Grants can be a very rewarding yet complex place. From NOFO’S, terms and conditions, special terms and conditions, federal regulations, grant-specific guidelines and local laws and ordinances, grant guidance needs to be done with a keen eye towards compliance, and a watchful eye on federal, state, and local structural changes. Grant guidance and compliance is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Through this MCLE, you will learn the dos and don’ts of grant compliance and actual pitfalls that may subject your clients to potentially having to pay back three times the grant amount under the false claims act.
Speaker: Barak Vaughn

Animal Services Ordinance Webinar
2025-05-27 13:00 - 14:00
Modernizing Animal Care: Updating Ordinances to Empower Communities and Save Lives
As animal care and control agencies evolve into Pet Resource Centers, the role of ordinances in shaping community success has never been more critical. Outdated laws—some still referencing “dog catchers”—fail to address the modern approach to animal welfare. Data-driven decision-making now plays a key role in improving service delivery and enabling objective ordinance analysis.
Are there provisions in your local laws that are ineffective or unenforced? Join this webinar to learn how updating policies can empower staff, engage the community, save animal lives, and reduce financial strain on municipalities.
Speaker: Elise “Ledy” VanKavage & Scott Trebatoski

False Claims Webinar
2025-06-03 13:00 - 14:00
Navigating the False Claims Act: Compliance and Litigation
On January 21, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order entitled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity” (the EO). In that EO, the head of every agency was directed to include a term requiring any party to a contract or grant with the federal government certify that it does not “operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws” and the grantee must agree that its “compliance in all respects with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws is material to the government’s payment decision” for the purposes of the False Claims Act. This webinar will explore legal issues surrounding the False Claims Act.
Key topics include:

Overview of the Executive Order (EO) and its implications
The False Claims Act (FCA) and its role in enforcement actions
Authority interpreting materiality requirements in similar contexts
The Baltimore case and its latest developments
Legal challenges to implementation and potential defenses
Historical support for similar programs in federal legislation, regulations, and court decisions
