Bill Summary
An Act relating to the Council on Judicial Complaints; amending 20 O.S. 2021, Section 1653, which relates to membership; prohibiting members of the Council on Judicial Complaints from eligibility for certain offices; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to prohibit members of the Council on Judicial Complaints, an entity responsible for reviewing complaints against judges, from being eligible for election or appointment to the Judicial Nominating Commission, the Supreme Court, the Court of Civil Appeals, the Court of Criminal Appeals, or any other court in the state during their terms on the Council. This change aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest by ensuring that individuals serving on the body that oversees judicial conduct are not simultaneously seeking positions within the judiciary itself. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
