Establishes an Office of Ethics Counsel and an Office of Investigative Counsel within the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act establishes an Office of Ethics Counsel and an Office of Investigative Counsel within the Supreme Court. The Office of Ethics Counsel advises justices on judicial ethics and provides training. The Office of Investigative Counsel reviews and investigates ethics complaints against justices. The Chief Justice appoints the Chief Ethics Counsel and Chief Investigative Counsel, who must meet specific qualifications. The act also outlines the process for filing ethics complaints and the reporting requirements for the Offices.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
