Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend title 28, United States Code, to limit the authority of district courts to provide injunctive relief, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 (NORRA), significantly restricts the ability of United States district courts to issue injunctive relief (court orders that require or prohibit specific actions). Under the proposed law, district courts would generally be prohibited from issuing broad injunctions, with only narrow exceptions. Specifically, courts could only issue injunctions that directly limit the actions of parties in the specific case, and their representatives. However, the bill creates a special provision for multi-state lawsuits challenging executive branch actions: in such cases, a randomly selected three-judge panel could potentially issue a broader injunction. This panel would be required to consider the interests of justice, potential harm to non-parties, and the constitutional separation of powers when deciding whether to grant injunctive relief. The bill also allows appeals of such injunctions to either the relevant circuit court or the Supreme Court, at the preference of the involved party. The overall intent appears to be constraining what the bill's proponents might view as overly broad judicial interventions, particularly in cases involving nationwide policy challenges.
