Judicial Integrity Act
United States119th CongressS-5036Senate
Updated: Jul 20, 2026
Summary
This legislation expands federal conflict of interest laws to explicitly cover the judicial branch. It amends section 208(a) of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit officers and employees of the judiciary, including Federal judges and Supreme Court justices , from engaging in official acts that would affect their personal financial interests. Additionally, the bill modifies section 208(b) to allow for a new regulatory waiver. This waiver permits the Judicial Conference of the United States to exempt certain financial interests from these prohibitions if they are deemed too remote or inconsequential to affect integrity, provided such exemptions are made through public notice and comment.
