HR 9690 United States House · 118th Congress

TIMER Act

The TIMER Act (HR 9690) sets a six-year deadline for filing lawsuits challenging federal agency rules in court. Specifically, it requires that any legal challenge to a finalized government rule must be filed within six years of the rule's issuance or be dismissed. This directly affects individuals, businesses, or organizations seeking to contest regulations through judicial review. The bill amends federal law to establish this clear time limit, replacing the previous lack of a specific deadline for such cases.
