Updated: May 1, 2025

Summary

This legislation amends federal law to ensure that complaints against judges are thoroughly addressed, even if the subject judge is no longer in office. It clarifies that a judge's resignation, retirement, or death will not be grounds for dismissing a complaint or concluding that further action is unnecessary. The bill specifically modifies Section 352 of title 28, United States Code, to prevent chief judges from halting the review of complaints under such circumstances. Furthermore, it mandates that any special committee appointed to investigate a judge's conduct must complete its investigation and file a report , regardless of the judge's departure from office or death. This ensures continued transparency and accountability within the judiciary.
