Limiting case transfers to federal courts

New rules make it harder to move cases from state to federal courts, especially when federal officials are involved. This aims to keep cases in state courts unless there's a very clear link to federal actions. Citizens might find their cases are handled closer to home.
Key points
Requires a direct link between a federal official's action and the claim for a case to be moved to federal court.
Any doubts about moving a case to federal court will favor keeping it in state court.
These changes take effect on January 1, 2023.
