Cameras in the Courtroom Act

Introduced·3/26/25

Permits televising of Supreme Court proceedings unless majority of justices vote against it.

The Cameras in the Courtroom Act proposes to amend the U.S. Code to allow televising of all open sessions of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can permit such coverage unless a majority of justices decide it would violate due process rights of parties in a particular case. This change aims to increase transparency and public access to Supreme Court proceedings.
