Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2025

# Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2025 — Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would establish new ethics rules and transparency requirements for Supreme Court justices. While the full details aren't specified in the available information, the bill's title indicates it would likely create ethics standards for justices, set guidelines for when justices should recuse (remove) themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest, and require greater public disclosure of Supreme Court operations and decision-making processes. **Who it affects:** The bill directly targets the nine Supreme Court justices and the Court itself.

Indirectly, it could affect the American public by potentially increasing transparency about how the nation's highest court operates and decides major cases. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No further action has been taken at this time.
