This bill would add section 1370 to chapter 85 of title 28, United States Code. It would stop a district court from issuing any order that provides injunctive relief unless the order applies only to (1) a party in the case or (2) the judicial district where the court sits. In plain terms, district courts could not issue injunctions that reach beyond the named parties or the court's own district.
If you are a party in a federal district court case, an injunction from that court could only apply to you or to the court's judicial district. The bill changes who can be covered by a district court injunction, limiting those orders to the immediate parties or the local district.
