To protect State and Federal judges by clarifying that Federal judicial immunity covers all acts undertaken by judges pursuant to legal authority.

H.R. 5343 is a bill designed to clarify and strengthen the legal protections for state and federal judges against being sued in federal court. It establishes that judges cannot be held civilly liable for any actions taken while performing their official duties, provided those duties are authorized by law or the Constitution. The only exception to this immunity is if the judge commits a crime while carrying out those duties. For citizens, this means it would be significantly more difficult to sue a judge for damages resulting from their courtroom decisions or legal rulings.
