H.R.3905 would require judicial-review actions on Section 404 permits or verifications to be filed within 60 days. It would bar courts from vacating, revoking, enjoining, or otherwise limiting a permit unless the authorized activities present an imminent and substantial danger to human health or the environment, and would cap remand deadlines at 180 days.

The bill text matches the commitment’s lawsuit-deadline and judicial-interference provisions, but it has not been enacted.
