Centralizing Federal Challenges: Ending Judge Shopping for Nationwide Injunctions.
This bill changes where lawsuits challenging federal laws and regulations must be filed if they seek to block those rules nationwide. All such major challenges must now be filed exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (D.C.). This aims to ensure consistency and prevent parties from choosing courts known for favorable outcomes when challenging national policies.
Key points
Lawsuits seeking to stop the enforcement of federal laws or regulations across the entire country must now be filed only in the D.C. District Court.
The change limits the ability of litigants to choose a specific court location, aiming to standardize initial rulings on major national policies.
