H.R. 1526 · SPONSOR DARRELL ISSA R-CA-48
NORRA of 2025
- Limit most injunctions to case participants: A federal district court could generally issue an injunction only to restrict a party to the case for the benefit of the party seeking relief. It could also cover nonparties represented by that party under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
- Create an exception for certain state cases: When two or more states in different circuits challenge an executive-branch action, a randomly selected three-judge panel would consider whether to issue an injunction that reaches beyond the case participants. The panel would weigh the interests of justice, risk of irreparable harm to nonparties, and preserving the separation of powers; an order could be appealed to the circuit court or the Supreme Court, at the appealing party’s preference
