Bill to Facilitate Access to Federal Courts for Property Rights Claims Gets Mixed Reaction

摘要

Legislation intended to give owners alleging violations of property rights easier access to federal courts drew mixed reviews at a June 8 House housing subcommittee hearing. The bill (H.R. 4772), which was introduced by Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Constitution subcommittee, is aimed at restrictions on federal court access established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1985 and 2005.
