S.4917

Monitor Accountability Act sets conditions for court-appointed monitors, including fee limits and term restrictions.

The Monitor Accountability Act establishes conditions for the appointment of monitors by courts, who are tasked with overseeing state or local government conduct. The Act mandates that the Judicial Conference of the United States set maximum fees for monitor services and allows for pro bono or reduced rates. It prohibits monitors from serving more than one term, limits terms to five years, and prevents reappointment under the same court order.
