Bill > HR97

This bill aims to prohibit federal courts from issuing national injunctions, which are court orders that block the enforcement of a law, regulation, or government action across the entire United States. Specifically, the Injunctive Authority Clarification Act of 2025 would amend Title 28 of the United States Code to prevent courts from issuing orders that restrain the enforcement of a statute, regulation, or similar authority against parties who are not directly involved in the lawsuit. The only exception would be when those non-party individuals or entities are represented by a party acting in a representative capacity, as defined by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This legislation is designed to limit the scope of judicial injunctions and prevent individual federal judges from halting the implementation of laws or regulations on a nationwide basis, which has been a controversial practice in recent years. The bill would apply to all United States federal courts, including those in U.S. territories like the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
