Enforcement pause through June 19, 2025

Retroactive protection from penalties
The Department of Justice will not enforce the Act or impose penalties for any conduct that occurred during the extension period and for conduct that took place before this order, including the period from January 19, 2025, to April 4, 2025. The order states there will be no liability for conduct during those times.
Attorney General will issue guidance and provider letters
The Attorney General must issue written guidance to implement the pause and send a letter to each provider saying there has been no violation and no liability for conduct during the specified period and from the Act's effective date until April 4, 2025. Providers will receive formal notice that they face no liability for those times.
Federal authority defended against state or private suits
The order directs the Attorney General to use available authority to stop states or private parties from trying to enforce the Act, saying such attempts would encroach on the Executive's enforcement powers. The Attorney General will act to preserve exclusive federal enforcement of the law.
