Bill overview
The NEPA Legal Reform Act aims to streamline and clarify the legal process surrounding the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). It establishes stricter requirements for bringing lawsuits challenging environmental reviews, including a personal harm standing requirement and a statute of limitations. The bill also introduces changes to evidentiary standards for injunctions and limits the fees that can be awarded to environmental attorneys. These changes are intended to reduce litigation and ensure that NEPA reviews are conducted efficiently.
