Relating to the disciplinary and investigatory powers of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct.

This bill clarifies the State Commission on Judicial Conduct's disciplinary and investigatory powers in Texas. It defines "sanction" to include public or private warnings, reprimands, or required training for judges. The bill adds a 10-year statute of limitations for complaints (with exceptions for ongoing misconduct) and requires the Commission to decide on complaints within 90 days. For complaints about a judge's substance abuse or mental/physical incapacity, it mandates a 30-day preliminary review and allows temporary suspension with pay for up to 90 days while the judge undergoes evaluation.
