Judicial FOIA Expansion Act
HR 9108, the Judicial FOIA Expansion Act, expands public access to specific records held by the U.S. judicial branch under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It requires courts to make available attorney disciplinary records (excluding deliberations), judge complaints, meeting calendars, Federal Judicial Center research, jury forms, judge performance reports, PACER system updates, and annual congressional reports. The bill excludes ongoing case details and information not in a court's possession. It also mandates that all disclosed information be machine-readable and authorizes $10 million for implementation, without affecting existing public access rights to judicial records.
