Limiting Court Orders: No More Nationwide Injunctions for Non-Parties

This bill aims to restrict federal courts from issuing orders that affect individuals or entities not directly involved in a court case. This means courts will no longer be able to issue nationwide injunctions that automatically apply to all citizens, unless they are represented by a party acting on their behalf. This change could impact how citizens are protected or affected by court decisions regarding federal regulations.
Key points
Federal courts will be prohibited from issuing orders that automatically apply to individuals or businesses not directly involved in a case.
Nationwide injunctions affecting all citizens will only be possible if citizens are formally represented in the legal process.
This change may make it harder to quickly block federal regulations on a large scale through single court rulings.
