To amend title 5, United States Code, to establish and clarify the applicable statute of limitations for persons seeking remedy for legal wrongs because of agency action or adversely affected by agency action.
This bill would establish a six-year statute of limitations for people to sue the federal government over agency decisions that harm them, reversing the effects of a recent Supreme Court ruling. The legislation applies to any legal challenge involving federal agency action and would give citizens a clear, uniform timeframe to file their complaints rather than relying on different timelines that may apply to specific agencies. The bill has no specific funding associated with it, as it primarily changes the legal procedures for filing lawsuits against federal agencies. It was introduced in July 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The change would make it easier for individuals and businesses to challenge government actions that affect them negatively.
