This bill is called the Bivens Act of 2025. It would change 42 U.S.C. 1983 by inserting the words "of the United States or" before "of any State." The text says the change is to provide a civil remedy for an individual whose rights have been violated by a person acting under Federal authority.
If the bill becomes law, an individual could bring a civil lawsuit when a person acting under Federal authority violates their rights. The bill text does not describe details such as what remedies are available, procedural rules, or how existing legal doctrines would apply.
