Bill > HR3150

This bill, known as the "Transparency and Responsibility in Upholding Standards in the Judiciary Act" (TRUST Act), amends federal law to ensure that judicial misconduct complaints can be fully investigated and addressed even if the judge in question resigns, retires, or dies before the complaint is resolved. Specifically, the bill modifies two sections of Title 28 of the United States Code to prevent the automatic dismissal of complaints against judges when they leave office. Under the new provisions, the chief judge cannot dismiss a complaint solely because the judge has left office, and any special committee investigating a complaint must complete its investigation and file a report regardless of the judge's resignation, retirement, or death. This legislation aims to increase accountability in the judicial system by ensuring that potential misconduct can be thoroughly examined and documented, even after a judge is no longer serving, which could help maintain public trust in the judicial branch.
