Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Bill 119 HR 432, also known as the "Administrative Law Judge Removal Authorization Act," seeks to allow for the transfer of legal actions from administrative law judges of any administrative agency to a district court of the United States. This bill aims to provide individuals or entities involved in legal disputes with the option to have their case heard in a federal district court rather than solely by an administrative law judge.

The bill does not specify the reasons for which a case can be transferred, but it does grant the parties involved the ability to request the transfer. This transfer would allow for a potentially more impartial and fair hearing, as district courts are typically seen as more independent and less influenced by the agency involved in the dispute.

Supporters of the bill argue that it would provide a more robust and transparent legal process for individuals and businesses involved in disputes with administrative agencies. Critics, however, raise concerns about the potential increase in caseloads for district courts and the potential for delays in the legal process. Overall, Bill 119 HR 432 aims to provide individuals and entities with more options for resolving legal disputes with administrative agencies and ensuring a fair and impartial legal process.
