Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2025

Among the changes, the bill requires the Supreme Court to

adopt a code of conduct for Justices and establish procedures to receive and investigate complaints of judicial misconduct;

adopt rules governing the disclosure of gifts, income, or reimbursements received by the Justices and law clerks that are at least as rigorous as the House and Senate disclosure rules; and

establish procedural rules requiring each party or amicus to disclose any gift, income, or reimbursement provided to Justices.

Additionally, the bill

expands the circumstances under which a Justice or judge must be disqualified; and

requires the Supreme Court and the Judicial Conference to establish procedural rules for prohibiting the filing of or striking an amicus brief that would result in the disqualification of a Justice, judge, or magistrate judge.
