The NLRB Stability Act seeks to limit the National Labor Relations Board's ability to issue orders that contradict federal court of appeals decisions within the same circuit. The bill amends the National Labor Relations Act to require NLRB orders to align with existing appellate court rulings, preventing the agency from disregarding or "nonacquiescing" to court decisions. The legislation also simplifies venue rules by specifying that cases can be brought in the federal appeals court for the circuit where the alleged labor violation occurred, or in the D.C. Court of Appeals, rather than multiple possible venues. The bill contains no new funding provisions or implementation timeline. Introduced in November 2025 by Senators Cassidy and Tuberville, it affects workers, employers, and labor disputes nationwide by potentially restricting the NLRB's independent decision-making authority when courts have already ruled on similar issues.
