Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act of 2023

The Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act of 2023 restricts federal judges and justices from holding certain investments and business interests that could create conflicts of interest, requiring divestment of stocks, commercial real estate, and business ownership. It creates a new Federal Employee Investment Account system allowing judges to maintain investments without conflicts, while establishing civil penalties of up to $50,000 for violations. The bill strengthens gift restrictions, improves transparency by requiring judges to publicly disclose recusal-related interests and make speeches available online, and establishes a Supreme Court Complaints Review Committee to handle misconduct complaints against justices. It also clarifies ethical standards and creates new disclosure requirements for judicial conduct. These provisions directly affect all federal judges, justices, and their financial holdings.
