Federal Diversity Jurisdiction Modernization Act of 2026

This bill changes the minimum dollar amount a lawsuit must involve before a federal court can hear it based on the parties being from different states (called diversity jurisdiction). It would raise that minimum from $75,000 to $500,000. The change would apply only to civil lawsuits filed on or after the date the bill becomes law.
