Summary
The Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2022 proposes a formal code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices and other federal judges to ensure consistent ethical standards across the judiciary. The bill would require the Supreme Court to establish a process for investigating complaints against Justices and create stricter rules for when a judge must step away from a case due to potential conflicts of interest. For citizens, these changes aim to increase public accountability and provide more transparency regarding the financial disclosures and gift-reporting requirements of the nation’s highest jurists.
