The Bivens Act of 2025 amends 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to allow individuals to bring civil lawsuits against federal officials and employees for violations of their constitutional rights, mirroring the existing remedy available against state and local officials. The bill expands the scope of § 1983 by inserting language that permits suits against persons acting under federal authority, not just state authority.
