Limiting Court Orders: New Rules for Federal Courts

This act changes the rules for federal courts issuing injunctions, limiting their scope. Citizens may experience changes in how legal disputes are resolved, especially in cases involving government actions. The aim is to ensure that court orders only apply to parties directly involved in the case.
Key points
Federal courts will only be able to issue injunctions that apply to parties directly involved in the case.
In cases challenging government actions brought by two or more states, injunction decisions will be made by a special three-judge panel.
Appeals from these panel decisions can go directly to the Supreme Court or the circuit court.
