This bill would stop federal judges from issuing nationwide orders that block a federal law or policy for people who aren’t part of the lawsuit. A judge could still block enforcement for the people who sued, and for others only if the case is a certified class action. In short, it limits court orders to the people directly involved in the case, instead of applying to everyone across the country .

Key points:

• Who is affected: People suing the federal government, federal agencies, and the general public who might otherwise benefit from broad court orders.
• What changes: Courts could not issue nationwide injunctions that protect nonparties, unless it’s a class action case where nonparties are represented as part of the class.
• Scope: Focuses on orders that try to stop enforcement of federal laws or policies against people not in the lawsuit.
