If a federal agency brings a case against you, this bill would let you move it out of the agency's in-house hearing process and into a regular federal court. You'd file a notice of removal in the district court where you live or have your main place of business. The goal is to give people access to independent judges and jury trials instead of agency-employed hearing officers.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 432: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill directly affects anyone who faces an enforcement action or proceeding from a federal agency. That includes individuals, small businesses, and large corporations alike. It also affects federal agencies that rely on in-house proceedings to enforce regulations, and federal district courts that would take on additional cases.
Why this matters: Right now, when a federal agency brings a case against you, it's usually decided by someone who works for that agency. Many people see this as unfair — the agency is acting as both prosecutor and judge. This bill would give people a way out by letting them take their case to a regular federal court with an independent judge and, in some cases, a jury. The tradeoff is that federal courts are already busy, and agency hearing officers often have deep expertise in the rules they enforce.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
