TRUST Act

This bill makes sure complaints about federal judges don’t get dropped just because the judge leaves the job. If a judge resigns, retires, or dies, the complaint still gets reviewed, and any investigation must be finished and reported, rather than closed early. It updates federal law to keep these reviews going even when there’s a vacancy.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People who file complaints about federal judges, and the judiciary bodies that review them.
• What changes: Complaints are not dismissed, and investigation committees must complete their work, even if the judge is no longer in office.
• Why it matters: It prevents judges from avoiding review by stepping down and helps keep the complaint process consistent and fair.
