Show full summary
  • Federal agencies and the federal government: Would require appeals of orders that grant nationwide injunctions to go to the Supreme Court, changing where those disputes are appealed.
  • Litigants and non-parties: Would define a nationwide injunction as an order that restrains enforcement of a federal statute, regulation, order, or similar authority against a non-party unless that non-party is represented by a party acting in a representative capacity under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
  • Courts and statutes: Would create a new section 2285 in chapter 155 of title 28 and update the chapter’s table of sections to reflect that addition.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Direct Supreme Court review of nationwide injunctions

If enacted, appeals of nationwide injunctions issued by a U.S. district court would go directly to the Supreme Court. A nationwide injunction would mean an order that blocks a federal law, rule, or order for people who are not parties to the case. It would not include orders where those non-parties are represented by a party acting in a representative role under federal court rules. This could change how fast and how uniformly these disputes are resolved for agencies, businesses, and individuals.
