The REPAIR Act of 2025 establishes new judicial review procedures for federal project authorizations across environmental and natural resource laws including the Clean Air Act and Endangered Species Act. The bill imposes a 120-day statute of limitations for filing legal challenges to project permits and approvals, restricts courts from canceling authorizations except in cases of imminent danger, and creates a mediation process to resolve disputes within 60 days. The legislation establishes venue requirements based on project location, mandates random case assignment to prevent judicial bias, and requires public reporting of authorization challenges that exceed 90 days. Significantly, the bill bars individuals and groups from suing in federal court to challenge project approvals that use the streamlined environmental review process under the REPAIR Act, eliminating a primary legal tool for challenging federal agency decisions.
