Passed House

Summary

Limits district courts' power to issue injunctive relief. The measure bars most district courts from issuing injunctions except to directly restrain a party in the case and nonparties that the party represents, while creating a narrow path for multistate challenges to executive actions to be heard by a special panel.

Limits on nationwide court injunctions

This bill would limit federal trial courts from issuing nationwide orders. Their injunctions could only bind the parties in the case, and certain represented non-parties. If two or more States from different circuits sue the executive branch together, the case would go to a randomly chosen three-judge panel. That panel could issue a broader injunction after weighing justice, harm to people not in the case, and separation of powers. A party could appeal that order to the local appeals court or directly to the Supreme Court. The bill does not list an effective date.
