Six-Year Limit to Challenge Federal Agency Rules

This bill establishes a clear, six-year time limit for citizens and organizations to file a lawsuit challenging the legality of a final rule issued by a federal agency. If a government regulation affects your business, finances, or rights, you must challenge it in court within six years of its issuance. After this period, the rule generally cannot be legally challenged based on its original validity, increasing regulatory certainty.
Key points
Sets a firm six-year deadline for initiating a civil action to seek judicial review of a final federal agency rule.
Increases legal certainty regarding the permanence of government regulations after the six-year window closes.
