No Regulation Through Litigation Act of 2025

HR 849, the No Regulation Through Litigation Act of 2025, prevents federal agencies from using settlement agreements to create new regulations or non-binding guidance documents. It prohibits including attorney fees or litigation costs in settlements that result in such rules, ensuring agencies cannot bypass standard rulemaking processes through court settlements. The bill applies broadly to agency regulations but excludes military/foreign affairs regulations, internal agency policies, and procurement rules.
