HR 1526
Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

The No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 limits the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief (court orders preventing certain actions) by restricting such orders to apply only to parties directly involved in the case. An exception allows cases brought by two or more states in different judicial circuits challenging executive branch actions to be heard by a randomly-selected three-judge panel, which may issue broader injunctions after considering the interests of justice, potential harm to non-parties, and constitutional separation of powers. Appeals of injunctive relief decisions under this exception may be taken to either the circuit court or the Supreme Court at the party's preference.

To amend title 28, United States Code, to limit the authority of district courts to provide injunctive relief, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025” as the “NORRA of 2025”.

SEC. 2. LIMITATION ON AUTHORITY OF UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTS TO PROVIDE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.

(a) In General.—Chapter 85 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: “Sec. 1370. Limitation on authority to provide injunctive relief

“(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), notwithstanding any other provision of law, no United States district court shall issue any order providing for injunctive relief, except in the case of such an order that is applicable only to limit the actions of a party to the case before such district court with respect to the party seeking injunctive relief from such district court and non-parties represented by such a party acting in a representative capacity pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

“(b) If a case is brought by two or more States located in different circuits challenging an action by the executive branch, that case shall be referred to a three-judge panel selected pursuant to section 2284, except that the selection of judges shall be random, and not by the chief judge of the circuit. The three-judge panel may issue an injunction that would otherwise be prohibited under subsection (a), and shall consider the interest of justice, the risk of irreparable harm to non-parties, and the preservation of the constitutional separation of powers in determining whether to issue such an order.

“(c) An appeal of an order granting or denying injunctive relief pursuant to subsection (b) may lie to the circuit embracing the district or to the Supreme Court, at the preference of the party.”.

(b) Table of Sections.—The table of sections for such chapter is amended by adding at the end the following:
