Right to Redress Act

S 3803, the Right to Redress Act, allows individuals to request a jury trial when filing civil claims against the U.S. government for property damage, personal injury, or death caused by negligent or wrongful acts of federal law enforcement officers during official duties. It directly affects people harmed by federal officers (such as FBI agents or border patrol agents) while they are performing their jobs. The bill adds a new provision (28 U.S.C. § 2675(d)) requiring courts to provide jury trials for these specific claims upon the claimant's request. This changes the existing process by giving claimants a choice between administrative review or a jury trial, while clarifying that "federal law enforcement officer" includes agents and employees authorized to enforce federal law.
