HR 1526 United States House · 119th Congress

NORRA of 2025

HR 1526 (NORRA of 2025) limits U.S. district courts' power to issue injunctions. It prohibits courts from granting court orders that stop actions affecting parties outside the specific lawsuit, restricting injunctions to apply only to the immediate parties involved in the case. This change would directly affect federal district courts and the parties seeking injunctive relief in litigation. The bill adds Section 1370 to Title 28 of the U.S. Code, requiring that any injunction be limited to the specific case parties. It does not alter other court powers or affect existing legal procedures beyond this specific restriction.
