A bill for an act relating to the collection and publication of judicial officer performance information.

This bill requires Iowa's state court administrator to annually collect and publish specific performance data for district court judges, including pretrial decisions (like bond-setting practices and release rates for violent vs. non-violent offenses), sentencing outcomes compared to recommendations, appellate reversals, and case processing efficiency. The data would be published on a public website with search tools by county or name, along with average district statistics and a space for judges to add brief personal statements (up to 500 words) explaining their judicial approach. It directly affects all district court judges, full-time associate juvenile judges, and full-time associate probate judges. The bill aims to increase transparency in judicial decision-making through standardized, publicly accessible reporting.
