Judicial Conduct and Disability Reform Act of 2026: Mandatory transfer requests for complaints against circuit court judges.

The Judicial Conduct and Disability Reform Act of 2026 amends title 28, United States Code, to establish mandatory transfer requests for complaints against circuit court judges. It mandates that if a complaint against a judge is not dismissed or concluded, the chief judge must request a transfer of the proceeding to another circuit's judicial council. The act also limits suspension orders to a maximum of two years, with no option for renewal. It provides for expedited review of suspension orders by the Judicial Conference and allows for review by the Supreme Court on a writ of certiorari.
