Council on Judicial Complaints; prohibiting members of the Council on Judicial Complaints from eligibility for certain offices. Effective date.

SB 1777 prohibits current members of Oklahoma's Council on Judicial Complaints from being eligible for election or appointment to the Judicial Nominating Commission, the Supreme Court, the Court of Civil Appeals, the Court of Criminal Appeals, or any other state court during their term on the Council. This rule change directly affects individuals serving on the Council, preventing them from holding these specific judicial offices while serving. The bill amends Section 1653 of Oklahoma Statutes to establish this eligibility restriction, ensuring Council members cannot simultaneously serve in these other judicial roles. The provision takes effect November 1, 2026.
