Limits federal district courts to issuing injunctions that protect only the parties in a case, and sends multistate lawsuits against executive branch actions to a randomly selected three-judge panel that may issue broader injunctions.

• Bars district courts from issuing injunctions that reach beyond the parties to the case, except relief for non-parties represented by a party acting in a representative capacity under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
• Requires lawsuits brought by two or more States from different circuits challenging an executive branch action to go to a three-judge panel chosen at random rather than by the circuit's chief judge.
• Allows that panel to issue an injunction otherwise barred, weighing the interest of justice, the risk of irreparable harm to non-parties, and the preservation of separation of powers.
• Permits appeals of those panel orders to the circuit court or the Supreme Court, at the party's preference.

• Judiciary Committee (House)
• Judiciary Committee (Senate)
