Shadow Docket Sunlight Act of 2024

This bill requires the Supreme Court to publish written explanations and disclose individual justice votes for orders granting, denying, or vacating injunctive relief or stays in cases within its appellate jurisdiction. It directly affects the Supreme Court justices and their staff when handling such orders, excluding purely administrative or scheduling requests. Key provisions mandate written reasoning and vote disclosure for these specific orders, while clarifying that the bill does not alter substantive legal standards or the Court's jurisdiction. The bill also requires the Federal Judicial Center to report annually on compliance with these new disclosure rules.
