What this bill would do

The Judicial Relief Clarification Act of 2025 aims to amend title 28 of the United States Code to prohibit the issuance of national injunctions. It specifically targets non-party relief by preventing courts from issuing orders that restrain enforcement or compel action against those not directly involved in a case. The bill limits the scope of relief to parties actually before the court. It also modifies rules regarding temporary restraining orders and declaratory judgments. Finally, it restricts judicial review to specific persons defined under the law.
