Requires that workers' compensation judges and administrative law judges be included in database of appointed officials.

This bill (S 1555) requires workers’ compensation judges and administrative law judges to be added to an existing public database maintained by Rutgers' Eagleton Institute of Politics. The database will include each judge's name, title, term, race (using federal census categories), and gender identity/expression. The Institute will collect this information via forms sent to appointees, and the database must be searchable and publicly accessible online. This affects all current and future appointees to these judicial roles by mandating their demographic data be recorded alongside other appointed officials. The bill amends existing law to expand the scope of the database, without creating new policy or altering judicial duties.
