NORRA of 2025

4/11/2025, 10:56 AM

No Rogue Rulings Act or NORRA

This bill limits the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctions.

Specifically, it prohibits a district court from issuing an injunction unless the injunction applies only to the parties of the particular case before the court.

Bill 119 hr 1526, also known as the "Injunctive Relief Limitation Act," aims to amend title 28 of the United States Code in order to restrict the power of district courts to grant injunctive relief. Injunctive relief is a court-ordered remedy that requires a party to do or refrain from doing a certain action.

The bill seeks to limit the authority of district courts to provide injunctive relief in order to prevent what some lawmakers see as judicial overreach. The bill's supporters argue that district courts have been too quick to issue injunctions, which can disrupt the functioning of government agencies and businesses.

If passed, the bill would place restrictions on when district courts can issue injunctive relief, requiring them to consider factors such as the likelihood of success on the merits and the potential harm to the parties involved. The bill also includes provisions for expedited review of injunctions and limits on the duration of injunctions. Opponents of the bill argue that it could undermine the ability of courts to protect individuals and groups from government overreach and other abuses of power. They argue that injunctive relief is an important tool for ensuring that the government and other entities comply with the law. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1526 is a controversial piece of legislation that seeks to limit the power of district courts to grant injunctive relief. Supporters believe it will prevent judicial overreach, while opponents argue that it could undermine the ability of courts to protect individuals and groups from abuse of power.
