Bill > HR7692

This bill, titled the Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act, proposes to establish two new offices within the Supreme Court of the United States to enhance ethical oversight. First, it would create an Office of Ethics Counsel, led by a Chief Ethics Counsel appointed by the Chief Justice, to provide guidance to justices and their spouses on matters of judicial ethics, including financial disclosure, gift acceptance, political activity, conflicts of interest, and the handling of confidential court documents; this office would also conduct mandatory biannual ethics training for justices and submit an annual report to Congress detailing the ethics advice provided. Second, it would establish an Office of Investigative Counsel, headed by a Chief Investigative Counsel also appointed by the Chief Justice, tasked with reviewing and investigating ethics complaints filed against justices or their spouses by designated congressional leaders; this office would have the power to issue subpoenas to compel testimony and evidence, and if an investigation finds a violation of ethics codes or laws, it would submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Chief Justice (or the most senior associate justice if the Chief Justice is the subject), which could then be publicly released at the Chief Justice's discretion and would be made available to relevant congressional committees, with a duty to report potential federal criminal law violations to the Attorney General.
