Judiciary Accountability Act of 2024
The Judiciary Accountability Act of 2024 establishes the Office of Judicial Integrity to address workplace discrimination and misconduct complaints within the federal judiciary. The bill creates a Board of Directors to oversee the Office, which will handle claims from covered employees (including court staff, judges' personnel, and other judicial branch workers) alleging violations of anti-discrimination laws. The Office will provide a structured process including preliminary reviews, mediation, hearings, and appeals for resolving workplace complaints, while requiring annual reports on complaints and resolutions. The Act extends protections under existing civil rights laws to judicial branch employees and creates a confidential reporting system to support covered employees.
