Expands public access to certain records of the U.S. courts under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Judicial FOIA Expansion Act amends the Freedom of Information Act to create a right of public access to specific records relating to the courts of the United States. This includes records of attorney disciplinary proceedings, complaints against judges, and completed jury selection forms, among others. Exemptions apply to ongoing cases and information not in the courts' possession. The Attorney General must represent courts in related claims. The act also mandates machine-readable formats for published information and authorizes $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2027 to implement these changes.
