Commission on Judicial Performance; amend provisions related to.
SB 2788 updates Mississippi's Commission on Judicial Performance by defining "judge" to include magistrates, arbitrators, and other judicial officers performing court functions. It requires commission members to disqualify themselves if they file a complaint against another member and grants the commission authority to subpoena records from Mississippi's youth court information system. The bill also clarifies procedures for handling complaints, including creating transcripts for supreme court proceedings and limiting retention of dismissed complaint records to 12 months. These changes directly affect the commission, judges, and youth court systems by refining oversight processes.
