The Supreme Court Review Act of 2024 establishes an expedited legislative process for Congress to respond to Supreme Court decisions that interpret federal law or narrow constitutional rights. Under this process, Congress members can introduce joint resolutions within 10 days of a covered Supreme Court decision, and committees must report them within 30 days or face an automatic discharge motion. Once placed on the Senate calendar, these joint resolutions receive fast-track consideration with limited debate time of 10 hours total, restrictions on amendments to only germane proposals, and waived procedural delays that normally slow legislation.
The bill applies to all members of Congress and affects any legislation responding to significant Supreme Court rulings. While no specific funding is allocated, the act creates strict timelines requiring action within 40 days of session from the Court's decision through final Senate consideration. The measure is designed to give Congress a streamlined mechanism to legislatively overturn or modify the effects of Supreme Court decisions, though it does not prevent Congress from pursuing other legislative avenues through standard procedures.
