Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill amends Title 28 to prohibit United States district courts from issuing injunctions that bind non-parties or extend beyond the issuing court’s judicial district.
It creates a new section (1370) making injunctive relief available only to parties in the case or to matters limited to that district.
Low-to-moderate chance: clear, narrow text helps supporters, but high ideological salience and constitutional challenges reduce prospects.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise substantive change that plainly prohibits district courts from issuing injunctive relief with reach beyond a party or the issuing judicial district, but it omits explanatory findings, definitions, implementation detail, exception handling, fiscal consideration, and oversight mechanisms.

Likely opposed.
They would see the bill as a legal constraint that limits courts' ability to provide broad relief against unlawful federal or state actions that harm many people.
They would worry it hampers protection of civil rights and access to uniform nationwide remedies.
Mixed/leaning skeptical.
Appreciates limiting unilateral nationwide injunctions by single judges, but worries about fragmentation and real-world harm from inconsistent district decisions.
Would favor narrow exceptions and procedural fixes to mitigate harms.
Likely supportive.
Views the bill as restoring proper limits on judicial power and preventing single federal judges from imposing nationwide policies.
Sees it as reinforcing separation of powers and federalism.
