Bill > S1814

This bill, titled the "Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2025," aims to establish comprehensive ethics guidelines and oversight mechanisms for Supreme Court Justices. The bill requires the Supreme Court to develop and publish a code of conduct within 180 days, create procedures for filing complaints against justices for ethical violations, and establish a five-judge panel to investigate such complaints. It introduces new disclosure requirements for gifts, income, and reimbursements received by justices and their law clerks, and expands disqualification standards for justices who have potential conflicts of interest. The bill also mandates that parties and amicus curiae disclose financial contributions and connections that might influence a case, and requires the Federal Judicial Center to conduct biennial studies on judicial compliance with ethics rules. Additionally, the legislation provides for greater transparency by requiring public notification of judicial disqualifications and creating a review process for motions challenging a justice's participation in a case. These provisions are designed to enhance public trust in the Supreme Court by establishing clearer ethical standards and accountability mechanisms.
