Seventh Amendment Restoration Act

United States119th CongressHR-432House of Representatives
Updated: Jan 15, 2025

Summary

This bill, designated as the "Seventh Amendment Restoration Act," establishes a new mechanism for individuals to transfer certain administrative proceedings to federal courts. It amends Section 702 of title 5, United States Code, to allow a person against whom an action is brought before an administrative law judge or other designated agency hearing officer to remove that action. The removal can be made to a United States district court in the district where the person resides or has their principal place of business. The process for this removal is modeled after the existing procedure for transferring cases from state courts to federal courts, as specified in section 1446 of title 28, United States Code. This legislative change aims to provide individuals with an expanded avenue for judicial review of administrative actions.
