This bill would change how federal courts review government agency decisions by allowing judges to exclude scientific evidence they believe doesn't come from reliable scientific methods. The change would affect anyone challenging government actions in court, including businesses, environmental groups, and individuals, by potentially making it harder to use certain studies or data to support their legal arguments. Courts would have more power to decide which scientific evidence is trustworthy enough to consider when reviewing whether an agency followed proper procedures.
