Justice is BLIND Act of 2026

The Justice is BLIND Act of 2026 requires federal judges, including justices, magistrate judges, and bankruptcy judges, along with their spouses and dependent children, to place specific financial investments into blind trusts within 90 days of assuming office. This rule applies to covered financial interests such as stocks, commodities, and derivatives, while explicitly excluding widely held mutual funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and compensation earned by spouses or children from their own employers. Once established, these trusts must remain intact for at least 180 days after the judge leaves office, and the judges must publicly attest to the trust's creation or confirm they hold no such interests on a searchable government database.
