The Shadow Docket Sunlight Act of 2025 mandates the Supreme Court to issue written explanations and disclose how each justice voted in cases involving preliminary injunctive relief. This applies to orders granting, denying, or vacating such relief, and stays of preliminary injunctive relief. The written explanations must evaluate specific criteria, including the likelihood of success on the merits and the public interest. The Director of the Federal Judicial Center must submit reports to Congress assessing compliance with these requirements.
