Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act
S 3914 establishes two new offices within the Supreme Court: an Office of Ethics Counsel to advise justices and their spouses on ethics matters (like financial disclosures, gifts, and conflicts of interest), and an Office of Investigative Counsel to review formal ethics complaints filed by top congressional leaders. The Ethics Counsel provides mandatory biannual training to justices and submits annual reports to Congress on ethics advice given. The Investigative Counsel handles complaints, conducts investigations within 60 days of filing, and submits findings to the Chief Justice (or senior associate justice if the Chief is the subject), with reports also shared with relevant congressional committees. This bill directly affects Supreme Court justices, their spouses, and dependents by creating formal processes for ethics guidance and oversight.
