This bill would limit federal district court injunctions so they generally apply only to the parties who filed the lawsuit, not the whole country. An exception allows multi-state lawsuits against executive branch actions to go before a randomly-selected three-judge panel, which could issue a broader injunction and whose rulings could be appealed to an appeals court or directly to the Supreme Court.
This affects advocacy groups, businesses, individuals, and states that sue over federal government actions, as well as federal judges who currently issue nationwide injunctions.
Limiting single-judge injunctions would change litigation strategy against federal actions, making it harder to quickly block a policy nationwide except through the new multi-state panel process.
