Limiting Federal Court Power: Ending Nationwide Injunctions Against Laws.
This bill restricts the ability of federal courts to issue orders that temporarily stop the enforcement of federal laws or regulations across the entire nation. If passed, a court ruling challenging a new law would only protect the specific individuals or groups involved in that lawsuit, not all citizens nationwide. This change could require more individuals to file separate lawsuits to gain protection from disputed federal rules.
Key points
Federal courts will be prohibited from issuing orders that restrain the enforcement of statutes or regulations against individuals who are not parties to the specific lawsuit.
Protection from challenged federal rules will generally be limited to those actively participating in the legal process or formally represented (e.g., in class actions).
