What it does
The Restoring Court Authority Over Litigation Act of 2025 would prohibit federal agencies from regulating attorneys or law firms engaged in litigation activities and bar private parties from suing opposing attorneys in federal court for alleged misconduct related to their litigation work. It affirms that state and federal courts retain primary authority to oversee the legal profession through existing disciplinary and procedural rules. The bill amends the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Consumer Financial Protection Act to clarify that attorneys engaged in litigation to collect debts are excluded from the definition of "debt collector" under those statutes.
