S 1814 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2025

The Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2025 would establish a formal code of conduct for Supreme Court justices and require them to disclose gifts and financial interests. It creates procedures for filing complaints about justices' conduct, including a judicial investigation panel to review allegations of misconduct. The bill expands circumstances requiring justices to recuse themselves from cases, such as when they or their family received gifts from parties involved in a case. These provisions aim to increase transparency and accountability in the Supreme Court's operations, with new disclosure requirements for parties and amici curiae in court cases.
