S 5220 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Supreme Court Review Act of 2024

S 5220, the Supreme Court Review Act of 2024, creates a special expedited process for Congress to address specific Supreme Court decisions. It applies to rulings interpreting federal law or diminishing constitutional rights, requiring a joint resolution to be introduced within 10 days of the ruling. The bill establishes strict timelines: committees must be discharged after 30 days, debate is capped at 10 hours with no amendments beyond 10 total, and resolutions must directly relate to the court decision (no "non-germane" additions). This process applies only to Congress (Senate and House) when considering such resolutions, not to the courts or the public.
