Limiting Excessive Government Obstruction Act

This bill lets a party facing a federal agency adjudication file a demurrer, which would require the adjudicator to dismiss the case with prejudice. After dismissal, the agency would have 90 days to bring a civil lawsuit against the party in federal district court where the alleged violation occurred. The defendant in that lawsuit would be entitled to a jury trial and could defend by showing the alleged violation was reasonable under the circumstances. These rules would not apply to matters involving immigration, national security, the tax code, bankruptcy, patents, or federal benefits.
