Judicial Review Timeline Clarity Act
This bill establishes a 60-day deadline for filing lawsuits challenging federal permits for dredged or fill material under the Clean Water Act. It explicitly excludes reviews of state permit programs from this timeline and requires courts to remand non-compliant permits to agencies within 180 days, rather than vacating them. Courts may only block a permit if activities under it pose an "imminent and substantial danger" to health or the environment with no other remedy. The law directly affects permit applicants, federal agencies (like the Army Corps of Engineers), and state programs approved under the Clean Water Act.
