Legislation· Apr 2025Sponsored by Darrell Issa (R)
NORRA of 2025
Blocks federal courts from issuing injunctions that apply beyond the parties in a single case.
Tradeoff
Limits nationwide injunctions that block federal policies, making it harder to challenge executive actions on a large scale. Creates an exception for multistate cases against the executive branch, which can go to a special three-judge panel.
What's in it
CBO cannot estimate the budgetary effect of this bill.
This bill restricts federal courts' ability to issue injunctions that apply to nonparties in lawsuits, but CBO cannot quantify the fiscal impact because it depends on unknowable future litigation and judicial choices.
The House rejected a the bill on April 9, 2025 (212-217). The House then passed it 219-213 the same day — now in the Senate.
