H.R. 1526: NORRA (119th Congress) Bill Summary

This bill, titled the "No Rogue Rulings Act" (NORRA), seeks to amend the legal framework surrounding the ability of United States district courts to issue injunctive relief. Specifically, the bill proposes to limit the circumstances under which courts can grant such relief, which is a court order that requires a party to do or refrain from doing certain acts.

Key Provisions

Restriction on Injunctive Relief: The bill states that no U.S. district court may issue any orders providing for injunctive relief, except in cases where the order only applies to limit the actions of a party involved in the specific case before the court.
Amendment to Existing Law: The bill proposes an addition to Chapter 85 of Title 28 of the United States Code that establishes this limitation on injunctive relief.

Implications of the Bill

By limiting the authority of district courts to issue broad injunctive relief, the bill may affect how courts handle cases that typically might require such remedies. This could lead to more restrictive outcomes in legal proceedings where injunctions are sought, potentially affecting various areas of law such as civil rights, environmental regulations, and corporate governance.
