AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Seventh Amendment Restoration Act," proposes to amend Section 702 of Title 5 of the United States Code to provide individuals with the ability to remove administrative agency proceedings to a federal district court. Specifically, the bill would allow a person who is subject to an action before an agency hearing officer (which includes administrative law judges or other agency employees authorized to hear cases) to file a notice of removal to the federal district court where they reside or have a principal place of business. The removal process would be similar to the existing procedure for removing cases from state courts, as outlined in section 1446 of Title 28 of the United States Code. This legislation aims to give individuals more flexibility in challenging administrative proceedings by providing a pathway to have their case heard in a federal district court, potentially offering an alternative to administrative adjudication and potentially enhancing due process protections for individuals involved in administrative actions.
