Judicial Integrity Act
The Judicial Integrity Act amends federal law to clarify how financial conflicts of interest apply to judges and Supreme Court justices. It requires that any financial interests held by these officials be evaluated against a new regulatory exemption process managed by the Judicial Conference. Under this bill, a financial interest can only be considered too small to matter if the Judicial Conference issues a public rule explicitly exempting it after a notice and comment period. This change ensures that exemptions are formalized through official regulations rather than being assumed without review.
